The Av is a small part of the scene and can be dismissed as nonsense .
Get on with making your sober life as glorious as possible … Every time you paint a positive picture of drinking , deconstruct it and think for 5 mins about at least 2 sober ideas for each romanticised drinking one .
Think about the nausea , throwing up , dry heaving , waking up with a hangover … really inhabit the awful ideas of drinking so it becomes "second nature" to think of all the bad things it causes …
Don't romanticise the alcoholic experience …
Take care , m
