The funny thing is, the mental processes -- the thoughts that many of us call Addictive voice -- were exactly the same for me as for people who post after quitting from dire consequences (medical detox, jail, family ultimatums, etc). Those same thoughts of, "I could handle it now, just a glass of wine at parties, I'll keep it under control, I'm not really addicted," etc.
Exactly. I just posted on another thread that according to my AV, drinking at 8 am when I had worked overnight was ok because a graveyard worker's 8 am is a regular worker's 6pm.
That's exactly the same kind of screwed up addictive thinking that someone who is "low bottom" would have.
