Really well done on Day 8 Mavis! I'm on Day 7 myself, and I'm going for the AVRT route too. I haven't heard much from my AV for the last few days, but like you say, that doesn't mean it won't be back. It's strange having to be on red alert for a voice in your head! It's been quite a revelation to me that my AV is not, in fact, 'me', and doesn't represent my best interests. I don't really picture it visually (I quite like beasts - as in wild animals - so I don't think of it in those terms), but I have been known to hurl a few choice swear words in its direction whenever it pipes up. It sounds like me, it uses my internal voice, it knows how I'm feeling, but it's not me. I suppose it's like a vampire in that sense. Wishing you lots of luck with the journey ahead
