I am really intrigued by this thread and will definitely be following it. Today is only my 7th day sober, but I am already incorporating some of what I have learned on this thread, and the earlier thread, into my daily life. Every time the AV comes into my head I just ignore it and realize that it only has a destructive purpose.
I already used something similiar to this technique to stop eating meat which worked, so I am hoping this will work as well.
Thanks to everyone for such great information and insight. It has really helped me.
