I know you're not fond of 'critical' posts but c'mon Missy!

I think the worst thing you can do is convince yourself that posting here is futile or that once your mind is made up there's no point in fighting it anymore.

Thats classic AV and once you accept that its AV- fight it - AND BEAT IT - you'll be way better off.

I never changed my decision to drink...until I did.
I never used SR to talk to folks and ask for help to stop me drinking...until I did.

It's not going to be a nice day for you when you do it - your AV is going to be massively ticked off - but you'll feel awesome the next morning

You're worth the struggle Missy.
