My Whispering-slimy-slitherer

Yes, that's what I call him. My AV.
Three days today, and I had a near slip while I worked at a Tavern that has one of my pool tables. I drove away thinking: "Just a couple of ice cold Heinies, man... Take it easy and you'll feel no worse tomorrow than you do now. And tomorrow is a new day... What's a couple of days difference going to make?" Don't know how, but after a few minutes the whispering went away. And I'm grateful.
Thanks to all my SR friends for your support. Again.

Whatever you call him, what's most important is that you don't listen. It's significant that you realize that you have a choice in the matter, keep reinforcing that by spending time here and anywhere else you can.

WAY TO GO!!!!! Props to you today. Even going to a restaurant that serves alcohol is hard for me. Working at a tavern... can't even imagine the strength you have. So proud of you!

Its funny how many of us name our monsters (or in my case, I just describe him)
They're very sneaky too.

Well done! It can be so bloody hard to fight off that nasty AV but it is possible and you did it so good on you

Our AVs are consummate liars. Never, ever believe a word they say; they tell us what we want to hear while caring NOTHING AT ALL for our wellbeing.

Way to go.

I laugh at mine, he comes up with crazy ideas, no more wine with brunch. Haven't done that in years. No drinking while camping, well I never really drink camping because I do major bicycle rides of 30km or more and when I don't do that, I am camping, sometimes alone with the kids on bear and rattlesnake country. Sly and cunning, a little ridiculous too.

Sounds like a cross between Gollum and a Jabberwock.

My A/V is the Dementor. I used to bargain with it, fight and plead with it. Now I just say I don't drink and move along. The fighting with it encouraged it to keep rattling in my ear, that parasite.
