I agree, I used to do this. It wasn't even a proper argument! It was 'should I drink tonight or not?' over and over again til 'ok I'll drink'. Rubbish. I don't think I could let myself have a proper argument because the rational brain KNOWS that it is a bad idea to drink.
Do not engage. You don't drink anymore. Take the option of drinking off the table and then there's no inner dialogue to have. The craving will only last a few minutes if you don't engage.
You are going to make it
