Of course, "today is the first day of the rest of [your] life". The "Wouldn't it be great..." doubting is 100% your addictive voice - straight from your terrified Beast who just heard you say "...I cannot and will not live like this any more."
Yeah your dead right GT that's the addictive voice right there! Knowing the principles of AVRT I can see it pop up sometimes and recognise it but it'll take a bit of practice to properly get the hang of it. I and It are in the ring, can't have my lower brain masquerading as me otherwise I'll be punching myself repeatedly in the head! Lol. I like what you said about you can only have your last drink once in your life. I WILL NEVER DRINK AGAIN AND I WILL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND. Cue more sarcasm from old beast brain!
Thanks for the message and for pointing that out, cheers.
