Hi,

It looks like you're treating the AV like it's a person. It's not - it's your addiction. It wants alcohol like your body wants air. Sorta. There's no consciousness or conscience involved.

Sometimes, I find it helpful to treat my AV like it's a child. (Yes, I know what I just wrote) - BUT, sometimes children want things that are unsafe and/or dangerous because they simply don't know better. WE do know better. So the child can bitch and whine and sulk and throw a tantrum - but our answer is simply NO. That works with the AV too. NO. No alcohol. Now p1ss off (don't say that to a child).
