Hi everyone
I had a crazy attack of the AV yesterday. Straight after having been feeling SO committed to sobriety for the last couple of weeks, the AV suddenly pounced ferociously and started ripping into my resolve with loads of reasons of why it’s totally FINE for me to drink again. Huh? Where did that all spring from? I squashed it all but it was a really strong attack from sideways that I wasn’t expecting. I think it was seeing someone sitting fishing with a beer in hand. I don’t even like beer or fishing, but wham! The AV certainly did
Thankfully I didn’t cave in and happy to wake up sober on Sunday morning here, another 24 please.

Good evening,
I’ve been away a couple days but Willow’s post got me thinking that I need to stay closer. Haven’t wanted to drink at all but considering all that’s happening in my life that I need to stay much closer. I feel so much better when I do.
So 24 for me, for sure.
Xx

It’s been forever since I last checked in. It’s been a while since I even wanted recovery. My disease wants me dead, but it’ll settle for miserable. For the first time in too long I am committing to not allowing my disease to have its way. So I’m in for 24.

It’s like this weird tunnel vision where all it would bring you is happiness and relaxation on a lovely afternoon..yikes! Very frightening; the voice that wants to kill us with that first sip. Of course, we almost instantly regret it, but then the ‘ too late now, you already messed up so you might as well have a few more’ kicks in and it’s unknown if we’ll ever make it back. Terrifying. I’m so glad you dug in until the feeling passed. I am very glad you posted about it too. I don’t ever want to forget that it could happen to me, or to any of us.
I hope you’re doing ok and feel proud that you stayed strong. So glad you’re here with us.

Welcome OtterIsland
DaneK, it’s great that you found your way back here. Alcohol will kill us if we let it. And it’s so easy to slip back into old habits if we let our guard down for even an instant. And like Vovo said, who knows if we’ll be able to make our way back here. The AV is such an insidious monster, lurking and plotting in the background waiting to attack when we least expect it. We have to keep our guards up and come here to SR whenever we need. I found that I need to come to SR even when I feel fine, because when I drifted away before, the AV snuck up and bowled me over and tried to drown me in the awful alcoholic quicksand again. Luckily I made my way back here, but I’m not getting complacent again. SR is my lifeline and I’m going to keep hanging onto it regardless of how much I might feel I don’t need it on any given day. Those big AV waves could easily wash me back into the quicksand to get sucked down again if I don’t keep ahold of the SR lifeline.

Otter it’s very nice to have you here & found SR
Hey Dane?? Where the heck have you been? It’s been a long min since we saw you here!! But, welcome back anyway
I just finished watching all the seasons of the killing; twas very good but since don’t wanna issue a spoiler alert, I’ll be quiet
My Tide lost to Auburn which was otherwise a very good game;bad calls by ref but whatever! I’m all in
