Nights are usually empty hours when many of us were doing our drinking. Same for you?
You might want to reflect on this during daytime hours and think about what part of the night is hardest for you. Try to recall the AV when it was speaking loudest to you and what you can say back to it or do differently so that you either silence that voice or know how to answer it. You might want to change up your routine so that you're doing something active instead of say, watching TV, if the AV comes at a predictable time.
You're the one in charge, not the AV!
Silence that beast!
