AV: come over here and let me soothe your stressful down with a cool glass or two of champagne.

ME: Get stuffed, the only bubbles I'm throwing myself into tonight are the ones in the bath, you're fired, they now have the job of soothing my stresses away.

AV "You know, C, you're not really ready to quit smoking pot. All these voices in your head about God and not drinking is really just a form of indoctrination. You need to smoke pot for You because You like it and once You do, I will help you get what you want in life."

I've heard this before. 'I will help you'. And every time this thing runs me into the ground. Could this literally be the Devil?

ME "Who the **** are you?"

AV no response

AV: "Keith Richards is still alive isn't he?"

AV today tried to convince me I lost my wallet. So it had me digging all around in my trunk, frantic. The whole time AV is like "Well maybe you can pray now then turn your back on God once you get your wallet back..." and "I won't even let you call anyone about this. They'll all just say, is it odd, or is it God?" I threw some dinner together and prepared to drive an hour back to work. My wallet was right there on my dash board.

Weird when it's not just the AV talking but actually altering my perception of events.

ME: I gotta cut the grass today.

AV: Did someone say grass? Is that what we're calling it now? Yeah good idea, smoke some grass before cutting the grass! It will be FUN!

ME: I already spent your dope money on new shoes to wear after I, uh, mow the lawn.

AV : There's no way you could get through this stress without drinking. How could anyone even DO that?

ME: Watch and learn, AV, watch and learn...

AV: you don't need AA or steps. Your drinking wasn't that bad. It's ok to drink once in a while. There is nothing wrong with a couple of beers or glasses of wine. Stop being so dramatic.

Me: I want to believe it. But I know that's stupid. If I start drinking again, I'll have my free ticket to drink while out shopping and hide and sneak it. That's crazy! I can't go out and party and act like a fool either!! I love this website and the encouragement I get from it. I wish I wasn't so scared to meet people in person that I can relate to.

AV: Tomorrow is Friday and you know what we do on Fridays, right?

ME: I sure do! Make a fajita dinner and play some Nintendo like I'm a teenager again while enjoying a big glass of juice from the fresh fruits and vegetables I just bought today.

AV: ...

AV: You aren't in danger of drinking. You're allergies are acting up and this Benadryl is making you super groggy. You don't need to go to an AA meeting today! Get in bed and isolate instead.

ME: I wanna share my joy, not stifle it! I will stifle YOU instead! GTFOHWTBS

AV: Carving these pumpkins sure would be a hell of a lot more fun with a wine bottle and a straw.

ME: I am plunging lethally sharp 10 inch chef knives into 2 inch thick pumpkin skin that might as well be made out of particle board.

And you want me to do this sauced ?

With friends like you AV, who needs enemas.

My family pee me off all the time with their demands and I think, 'relax, have a couple of drinks, that'll fix them,' but it would only cause more hurt to me.

AV: "Your brother isn't going to like you as much
or want to spend as much time around you
now that you don't drink".

ME: "AV, that is the stupidest thing you've ever said to me."

AV: It won't hurt to drink once in a while. You won't get out of control again. There's a lot going on, and you need to relax. Stop over-thinking it!

Me: Leave me alone! Stop talking to me! I know I will get out of control. Drinking for a while won't stop any of my problems but only make them worse! Whew! I feel better now.

AV: Blah, blah, blah, blah...

Me: Huh? Oh, it's just you.
