That AV is sneaky
It hit me out of nowhere like a ton of bricks, I panicked for two minutes then thought right let’s think about this, I said to myself right I have two choices I understand that it’s the illness and it wants to put me in an early grave, so let it pass, or go and get blind drunk let myself and everyone else down, wake up feeling sick and everything that goes with it, I really have to keep my wits about me with this AV sneaky sod

We all get it. I’m 8 months sober and a few evenings this week I felt like a drink. Saying that, my cravings are tiny compared to those when I first quit. So it does get better. You’ll soon look back on these 10 days and realise you don’t want to repeat the experience. Keep going. You’re doing OK.

Sneaky! That's a good way to put it. The scary part is that AV is coming from inside us. It's our other half talking to ourselves. It's like were all a bunch of split personalities. The thing we draw strength from is that the AV is just a voice. It's the other one of us that makes the actual choices.

What else is in your toolbox?
Cravings can be strong and persistent. A clear set of steps if distraction doesn’t work could save a relapse. I had to make a series of gradually more absorbing things. Just a suggestion
