Yeah, I am distinctly reminded of the way that W. abstained from alcohol for the first 7 years. He was doing it, but it was a lot of work and ticked him off no end that other people got to drink. Now he has reached the joyful level of abstinence and wouldn't think of going back. He just had to have a terrible relapse before he could get there.
