Doing Well on Vacation
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas!!
Doing well on day 5 and landed safely in sunny Florida. Record high temps because they knew we'd be on the beach. 👍🏻
Have had zero desire to drink so far here although I dreamed I drank. 16 years of no smoking and I still dream I smoke so I know that's normal. This guy on the plane in front of me slammed a 6 pack on a 2 hour flight. I was surprised they allowed that. I just kept thinking I'm glad that's not me. They have a tiki bar here and the people were loud and drunk singing bad Christmas carols. I could hear them from my quiet beach front room and was glad that wasn't me as I soaked in the peacefulness.
Brought my RR book that came just in time for my trip. Read the whole time on the plane. Have been sleeping good with some melatonin help.
Anyway, I know I have support if I run into trouble here.

Enjoy your vacation Usta. One time my wife and I booked two weeks at an all-inclusive. I ended up regretting the wasted time because I drank from sun up to sun down.
Congrats on day 5, that's awesome.

That is your Addictive Voice.

Don't skip over the ACTION exercises, and read Trimpey's conversation with "Richard" in Part 3. Read through the AVRT discussion threads in Secular Connections when you return to tighten up the screws on your Beast.

Hi there! I hope you are on the "best" coast of FL (the West coast) and enjoying the Gulf. It was 83 here today. I wore a tank top because it's always pretty hot, but I had to wear jeans and my new Cole Haan booties because... dammit it's Winter!!!
I hope you get into the RR book. The threads here in SC can help tweak some of the technique. Never drink again and never change your mind. You can do this.

I had RR TNC on my vacation on my "first" week. I was a little grumpy from time to time and the beast thought it was ridiculous and hated it. Actually made it easier to recognize the beast /AV ( stupid beast, subtlety may have been a better play, so watch out for that ) which made separation and dismissal almost a 'no brainer'.
I was grumpy, but I was in control . It's weird but it was one of my best vacations
Hope you get spared the grumpy part and have a good time
