Hiya Kenton, so glad you made it over to the nobenders group.
A few have posted that your AV can tend to flare up around milestones of sobriety. But they can also flare up when we have something going on in our lives that triggers our default 'go to' which is drinking.
Whatever it is, it's awesome that you posted here instead of succumbing to your AV. Be very proud of that.
And what a spin out about your father giving you guidance.... I've never really shared this little nugget, but I truly believe my nanna gives me guidance to stay sober. Little things have happened over the last 5 months that reinforce that belief. It's quite amazing.
Anyhoo, I'm about to head off for my morning walk/jog. Yes peeps, I have started to include jogging. Never thought I would be a jogger lol. Although this will only be my third time I have done it and one of those times I had to cause it started to pi$$ down haha. I'm still counting it though.
Here's hoping everyone's AV sleeps like a baby today and stays far far away.
Again, welcome Kenton and thanks for sharing
xoxo
