Yes debs, this makes perfect sense and just knowing and knowing well that:
the end game of any stream of thinking or internal dialogue for your addictive voice will always be 'and this requires a drink.'
is very helpful for me. The AV is simply trying to do it's "job' so to speak. So it should never
surprise me when it is doing just that (ie when a thought comes in). I am not thrown off because the AV is soooo predictable.
It's aim is always the same. I simply have to do
my job, which is "the answer is still no". I think when *I* remain predictable, the AV comes around less. It's lke my kids...LOL they
don't even ask about certain things because "she's just gonna say no". ok, does that make sense??
