Remember the definition of the Addictive Voice: "Any thinking, feeling, or imagery that supports, or even suggests, your future drinking/using, ever." If your thoughts suggest future using, continued using, or procrastinating quitting, then it is AV. If not, then it isn't AV. You don't need to be afraid at all, because the AV is usually very conspicuous; you need only look at the end result if you were to listen to it. Does it support or suggest taking more drugs, or not?
It goes without saying that any thinking that undermines your confidence to quit necessarily supports taking more drugs.
