All self-doubt about perfect abstinence suggests the opposite, and is therefore Addictive Voice -- the Beast barking.
Wow - I never thought of that. VERY true and a pattern I've repeated OVER and OVER. Quit drinking, recover for a few days, feel better, feel more confident and then BAM another relapse. The cycle repeats. Just today the thought of drinking entered my mind. WTH?? Feeling very strong against it and will not drink. How sick this pattern is.
It's a rainy day, I plan to make a lot of headway through the RR book. Thank you all!
