I was just going to say this. Looking back it is amazing how much I let the voice alter my own decisions.

Even though I am not drinking it tries to take things I learned, I wish I could unlearn them, from 12 step programs and turn them on me to prove I should drink. For example, in treatment I was taught that "we addicts" should try to stay away from any behaviours that could possibly become compulsive. One example is sex. Everytime I sleep with my signifigant other the voice starts talking to me telling me I am a sex addict and since I broke "sobriety" I need to get drunk. Lol, in reality I'm anything but a sex addict, but that pesky voice sure tries to tell me I am.
