making day 6
It takes us some time to get that bad and it takes time to get better. Hang on. Six days is very early. Those voices grow dim with the passage of time. I rarely hear them now and when I do I just 'backtalk' them and they go away. The voices know that I'm in charge of things now.
I'm not into violence but you need to pop the little guy in the nose. Seriously, it takes time to change patterns but you can do it. I have found different things to do around the times I would drink. I'm still early in sobriety (49 days) but I rarely have the 5:00 blues anymore. Hang in there. It's so worth it and will get so much better.

That little guy in your head....I know him. He lives in my brain too. He will lose credibility over time, but I doubt he ever leaves for good. The more you silence him with reason, the less power he will have.
Sometimes he hitches a ride with friends and relatives. Recognize him and send him packing!
Best wishes!

When I first stopped drinking, there wasn't really a little voice in my head, telling me it was ok to drink. Instead, when I would be sitting around thinking, my thoughts would be screaming in my own head. So loud and untolerable. But, recently, as things have started to all around improve in my life, the voice has silenced itself. It's still there, sometimes, but no where near as bad as it used to be.
It just takes time...like everything else in life...
