Thanks, freshstart. Great insight and what you say makes a lot of sense. Took me a minute to follow, but I got it.
It's interesting to me that the first few days sober, AV was very loud and overt, and kind of easy to shut up, but I can see now that the thought patterns are a lot more subtle and subversive.
Made it through Friday and Saturday night and actually had a great time cooking meals, watching movies and drinking seltzer <burp>
Thanks for the support, SR!
