Day #75

I mentioned before that it shouldn't be a matter of willpower that is stopping me from drinking.

Allow me to explain.

I will agree that willpower is a hell of a thing. Frankly, my willpower is a fairly strong feature of mine.

Willpower is an active descriptor to me. It's not something that can be put forth easily in my mind to describe a non-action for me. "I'm not drinking something that is chemically similar to some type of intoxicant" really isn't all that active a sentence.

So I do not like using the term willpower to describe what has happened. I do like the term vigilance, though.

That's what it should be described as.

  1. Here is to being ever vigilant.

    This begs the question, who watches the watcher? Or whatever that is in Latin.
