Addiction & Recovery

I still enjoy a cigar every day. Last week I was smoking one at a friendly gathering and an acquaintance asked if I ever enjoyed cognac with my cigars. I told him I really liked a good bourbon when smoking cigars. Didn't talk too much about my sobriety. Later that night, I felt like I could literally taste the Jim Beam Black or Makers Mark and had a fleeting thought. What if? Like you, I remembered the consequences of my drinking. That, "what if" thought thankfully retreated into the shadows rather quickly.
