One of them has been sober for 40 years and still has a daily meeting to help others. When he told me a few months ago that he was sober for 40 years I told him " let's go out for a drink to celebrate this " My wife thinks that I am awful to say that .
Yeah, I know people in similar situation, but not 40 years - more like 20.
I also knew a few who after 15 years or so began to drink responsibly and humbly. I believe those people beat their demon.
For the others, when that urge comes, might be better to instead find that CB1100, mount it and take you to the horizon.
