I agree ! It loves to be sneaky and use tricks. This site keeps me committed to not drinking or by now I would have decided I don't really have a reason to be saying no to a glass of wine. AV has many tools. Some I haven't had to face yet, I'm sure!
There is a you tube video of a boy reading him poem "counting backwards from 21" and it's so sad. His dad went to AA and cleaned up when he was a toddler and stayed sober for 10 years. Super Bowl Sunday, the Dad's team was playing, he was at a party, and decided to have a beer. The kid was 13. His dad was suddenly a drinking alcoholic. His dad was dead from drinking by the time the kid turned 21. It's stories like that that shine a light on how tricky the AV can be. Even after 10 years!
