Hey all! I've been good and busy. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything that I want to get done, done. I've come to a place where I don't think about how I'm not drinking all the time, which is nice, real freedom from the whole debacle. I feel like it's really truly over and I can focus my time and energy on other things. There are so many possibilities now that my whole world doesn't revolve around my next drunk or recovering from one. I have that ACE effect and it's a powerful feeling.
I got to share how I quit with a friend of mine last weekend. When I was finished explaining to him about how AVRT works and the AV and the BP, he said, yeah but I don't think I could say forever, and I said, that's your AV!
I think saying I will never change my mind is an important part of the BP because it immediately shuts down any suggestions the AV tries to make. And no matter what takes care of events or situations that could happen.
