anchorbird

While sitting at a gymnastics meet, exhausted, my back hurting due to lack of support on the bleachers, my AV voiced totally came and sat on my shoulder. It was the first craving I've had since my slip 3 weeks ago and it hit me hard!! Ok, I feel better now, but WOW, it came out of nowhere!

Why do you need to rat yourself out? You had a craving and you didn't listen to!! I'd say well done is more in order!

Exactly! You done good, anchorbird! You are stronger now for not listening to your AV - keep up the good work!

Good for you! So weird those out of the blue ones, right?

That ain't rattin', that's braggin'

That AV is a relentless cuss, eh? That's OK, we're ready for him. Anytime, anywhere.

Absolutely. Good call!! I'd pat myself on the back

Good job. Get some rest!

You did great, and I used to find the AV voice would appear out of nowhere too. It would be so unexpected.

I agree with everyone. You recognize that they were just thoughts. I collapsed yesterday and drank. I let the stink'n think'n override and I allowed myself to give in. Thank God for this forum!

That AV is a pesky little bugger. Decided to lurk around me for a bit today too. Took me a while to recognize why I was getting so irritated about things that were so small.

Old habits die hard!

Glad that you came here

I totally have those, too, Anchorbird. They drop lilke bombs in my mind. For me, the yhappen at moments when I'm not paying attention and forget that I stopped drinking. Sometimes they can be a challege to put to rest, but, like you did, they can be defeated. Good work. That is a victory for sure. They add up.
