Unexpected AV visit

Well out of the blue my AV decided to pay a visit tonight. Don't know why as i am not doing anything different. i didn't have any worse a day than any other. I had no additional stress. For no reason that i can think off at all.
I really have been travelling down the road to recovery pretty well for the past couple of months with not much temptation popping into my head.
I just had a good feed and logged onto here to keep busy and it has passed for now
I think i best not take my recovery for granted as it just highlighted to me tonight that my struggle for sobriety is very real.

Glad you got through it Pedro.

I was almost glad when things like that happened - helped ground me and remind me not to get too cocky

Good job getting through the urge.
My AV has been visiting lately also, I think it's the warmer days.

Tonight I was struggling with it so I got myself a big bowl of Fudge Swirl ice cream, crushed 4 oreos into it, and smothered it all with chocolate syrup.
My diet went right down the tubes but the AV is gone, lol.

Good job on getting past it! I have noticed that when my AV rears it's ugly head, it is usually unexpected and random-not necessarily an event or a time when I might expect it. It keeps us on our toes, I guess.
