Hi
As others have said, the key is to be honest with yourself, and recognise your AV's lies for what they are. Lies.
If you are at all like most of us, you don't want to sit on the deck drinking one cold beer in the Spring sunshine. If that's all you wanted to do you wouldn't be here. You know one drink wouldn't do the trick. Or even getting a buzz going from 2 or 3, and then stopping. Again, if that's all you genuinely wanted to do, you wouldn't be here. It's a fantasy. And your AV knows that, it's just hoping it can trick you into believing that fantasy.
The fact is, on a warm Spring or Summer afternoon on the deck, a nice fruit juice with soda water, or fresh lemonade, or an ice tea, all taste better and are more refreshing than alcohol. When was the last time you needed 6 pints of water in 2 hours to quench your thirst? Booze doesn't do any of the things our alcoholic minds think it does (try reading Allen Carr's How to Control Your Drinking, he does a great job of showing why that's true). Playing the tape forward sure helps, but just being completely honest with yourself about what you really want when you have those thoughts might do the trick.
