Don't know why, but all of a sudden I have this anxious urge to drink. I got this feeling like "eh, might as well." I'm at work, leaving soon. This is my "witching hour" I suppose; when I always start thinking of the drink I get to have at home. I have gotten into a pattern and the voice in my head always pipes up when I start getting bored or cocky (thinking I don't need recovery). I wanted to post here to be honest and hope my craving will pass. Thank you.

Hello, drinking voice in my head. I hear your plea.

Now go away. I don't drink.

It will pass. You do not need to drink. Keep posting.

Our AVs are consummate liars. Our AVs care nothing about our well-being.

Recognize it for what it is and shut it down.

Glad you came here to post.

Each time you fight the urge, it gets easier. Remember, it's just a thought. Don't have to act on it. John

Keep squelching that little voice , the more you do the more it becomes just some white noise.
Urges, cravings don't 'make' us drink, listening to that stupid lying little voice and acting on it will . DON'T , IT is just a stupid lying voice, by itself it can't even wiggle a finger on your hand, go ahead dare it to. You are always in the drivers' seat,,don't cede control to the lying backseat driver , ever keep truckin'
