I post sometimes on here and mention the "whispering alcoholic voice"...
Which i get from time to time...
Normally stuff like "your boring and glum without a drink" or "youve been sober for a bit now so try wekends and only beer"
Or the "just one glass of wine with dinner then".....all fantasy nonsense..and utter bs..
Over time it has reduced to very "rarely" but never completely gone in the 8 years ive been sober..
I dont think it ever will really but what has changed is how i deal with it..
In the first year or two it would make me feel vunerable and on edge.
But with time... i view it as a good reminder that i have to mantain my recovery and never forget who i am....or where i went..
IMO......im an alcoholic that needs a program to continue to remain content and at peace and for that i knit the AA steps into my life...and it works for me.
Working through these feelings will weaken them with time im sure..
And sharing them can only be positive............trucker..
