One of the things I truly value about SR is that insight comes from everyone -- the newly sober, the old hats and everyone in between.

When I was new to SR, it took me a while to embrace the notion of the AV. Am I not the only voice I have? I wondered. What it took me some time to learn is that the AV represents that part of us that grew out of habit.

But it's not the only voice within us. The voice that wants a better, healthier life -- sobriety -- gaining strength. It is becoming our true voice. RealE paint a great picture -- that other voice inside us doesn't rule the roost anymore and it's rattling around in its cage. Angry. Pay it no mind. That'll make it even smaller and less powerful.

You're stronger than you might think, Kafka. Seventy-seven days is terrific. You can do this.
