Thought experiment: if the world was ending in 3 weeks would I start drinking again?

(I recently completed 300 days. My life’s quality has grown exponentially, I cant thank this community enough.)

Today my wife and I were watching a dumb movie where some asteroid was about to hit earth in 3 weeks, so everyone was going crazy and whatnot. At some point during the movie, my wife casually asked me ‘would you start drinking again if the world was about to end?’

I was surprised at how much clarity I had when I told her I certainly won’t. That I would want to live our last 3 weeks with family n friends, just doing the things I love to do, maybe go to some nice place surrounded by nature, and just being grateful about this life in its final moments.

It was a weird moment for me, it made me feel so nice about everything, mostly because how sure I felt about this.

Thought I’d share this thought experiment with this community too :)
