I am glad I wrote that down, what a load of rubbish, a few days would turn into weeks or months, and by 7pm today I would feel lousy, tired, wanting to go to bed but knowing if I did I would be wide awake by 2am.
What you wrote really nailed it for me Juliet.
"You can drink just for a few days, take a break from sobriety, loose yourself in the booze. Then come back here." This is exactly what my AV says, and it lures me away from here, from SR. I'm then like the deer that gets picked off by the lion cause it's isolated from the herd. So, it's great that you voiced it on here. Also very useful for me.
Keep warm, take care and hope the snow eases off up there
