Welcome & Congrats on 17 days sober!
We all have that little voice, its what we
say back to that little voice that determines
how we will do in recovery.
It is extremely important that you remember
what your weaknesses are. Sometimes when we
have been sober for a bit we forget how crazy our
lives were while using/drinking and we start to
agree with the little voice that we could control
it and that we are overreacting with out recovery plans.
The truth of the matter is, if we could control our use
then we wouldn't have ever gotten to this point in
the first place! I always try to remind myself that
people who can control their use of their DOC don't
think about it 24/7, don't feel guilty when they use/drink,
and they sure as hell don't have internal struggles over
whether or not to quit. I always go with if you asking yourself
if you need to quit, then you do. lol
Keep going strong! You have such a good start
