Thanks to those that have relapsed for posting here
My AV was a little active today, but it was relatively easy to ignore it.
This in a large part because I am afraid of what would happen if I started drinking again and is largely due to the numerous posts about others experience with starting to drink again. So I wanted to thank y'all for sharing your experiences.
I am on my annual Spring fly fishing trip. I was moving locations today and the forecast called for severe thunderstorms so I decided to get a hotel room instead setting up my tent. The AV seized the opportunity to remind me about how good a few drinks in the hotel room would be.
I had already decided to ignore the AV. Alas, when I arrived at the hotel the previous guest had left 3 beers in the refrigerator in my room. (You cant make this stuff up!) I didn't waste anytime in having housekeeping remove them!
Again these forums have been indispensable in keeping me on the sober path. Thanks to everyone for sharing their journey!
