Great job on 16 and kicking the av's butt!
I've found that ignoring or trying to stop thoughts that put alcohol use in a positive light near impossible. They eventually spring up, but what what does help is to acknowledge them and bring them out in the full light of day. With alcohol use totally off the table as an option their(Its) points are less than debatable, the thoughts are seen for the hollow and pathetic excuses they are for continuing the addiction. The idea that "a" beer sounds nice, is easily swept aside when the reality that "a" beer was rarely ever the plan. Ending up drunk is never worth the nice idea, those ideas will not come up as often when your mindset is geared toward the idea of not wanting the drunkness and all its associated crap ton of crap. Stay resolved and the AV weakens , starve it out! Great post and mindset you got there, you got this!
Wish you well and hope to see you around
