I have 25 years clean and sober. But in my recovery I used a little wine to cook with a couple times. I figured it would burn off or be so diluted that it couldn’t hurt me. I wisened up and after two times I never did it again. It didn’t affect me but I will not take any more stupid chances like that. In 25 years clean and sober I have literally not had an urge or temptation to drink or do drugs. Never.
In 1990, after going to AA steadily for two months I almost relapsed one night. But I woke up the next morning and the obsession and compulsion to use had been lifted from me overnight and has never come back. I kept attending meetings and for the next 5 years I took the bus to 5 or 6 AA, CA, and NA meetings a week. Now I have 25 years clean.
