Day 4 - ignored my whispering AV last night :)

Had a good day, visited a relative. Was up at the crack of dawn with my son so very tired and on the way home my AV was whispering in the background 'you don't need a drink, you're doing really well and not craving so you don't really have a problem - you can just have the one, you deserve it after a tough week...'

Went round in my head on and off for about an hour but I made a cuppa instead.

Hope you are all doing ok this weekend

That's great to hear you didn't fall for that garbage it was telling you. Amazing how it can be so clever like that. You don't need a drink so you should have a drink. I mean, really? But we fall for it. I've fallen for that one a number of times. It helps to put it in writing so you can actually see what it's telling you and how crazy it is. Great job today, I'm proud of you.

You can do it Mavis! Don't give in to your AV...I assure you it is always lying. Great Job!

I have a sweet little liar in my head, too. Ignore the 'sweet' and 'little' and all you have left is the liar. Once I got that figured out life improved dramatically.

Way to go on day 5!

Keep up the good work Mavis. Imagine how you'd be feeling now if you'd given in.

Nicely done, Mavis. That AV can be a relentless buggar, especially in early times. Good job on shooting him down.

Awesome, Mavis! You can do this! I am very familiar with that voice. It goes something like, "well, even if you drink today, you're still doing WAY better than you were before! And starting over after only 3 days won't be that bad..."
