Good job posting, livingnow. Keep shutting that AV down. He lies and he doesn't give a hoot about you.

Congratulations on 21 days.

If you want to drink, have a drink.

You know the consequences, you know all the reasons why you shouldn't.

Last week I was in a very similar situations, where my Wife was in hospital having an operation to remove her tonsils, I had access to booze, even poured a glass of wine out in front of me. I sniffed it, looked at and then thought screw this and poured it down the sink.

I felt I owed myself more than that. You should too.

Martial your strength and put yourself first. You dont need alcohol in your life.

Good for you, livingnow!! Recognition and confrontation- good work. Stick close tonight and help some others with the new knowledge you have- there is no better way to feel committed and that pesky AV voice will fade away, defeated.

No drink will ever feel as good as the strength you have when you stay sober, life the life you want and be the person you want to be. Period.

Livingnow, you will get through this tough time and move on beyond your 21 days.

The AV is pulling out all the stops cos it knows you have it beat livingnow.

Viking GF has it exactly right - nothing beats the peace and satisfaction of becoming who we want to be

I could dream up a perfect storm out of clear blue sky when drinking! Good job realizing the folly!

Hit an AA meeting and the forecast will be partly sunny with a good chance of sobriety
