You can't possibly have fun doing "_______?______" today without a drink. Just have a double real quick at the bar on your way to the ladies room, who will know.....

Today mine is actively saying as I write this: "Of course you don't want to finish painting that room. Painting is no fun without me as a buddy. Work with me and we will have fun AND get it done."

I am saying to it now, as I write this: "I will continue to live with a half painted room before I will ever spend another minute living with you. Now GET OUT. NOW!"

It is starting to leave with its head down but keeps looking back... It wants me to feel bad for it. Wants me to think I am being unnecessarily harsh.

I am going to get up now and go slam the door....

Last night we were out with another couple that I don't know very well, but they like to talk like they're 'big drinkers'. So throughout the course of the evening I observe that they are mere kittens at the cream bowl, and the false bravado had my addictive voice saying 'for f*** sakes order some rounds of tequila and lets show them how it's done.'

Tonight it was one that loves to come around lately.

My addiction said: "You only started drinking when you started to live alone. One day when you aren't living alone anymore then you will be able to enjoy drinking again!"

Hmmnn, that makes no sense as when I lived with others, I DIDN'T drink. "So if I live with others again some day, I probably won't want to drink, you big stupid addiction! On top of everything else you are also illogical! Run! Run away from me. Your days are numbered, you idiot."

Today mine said "You're really not addicted to beer you just like the taste, and it is really hot out here mowing the yard. How about an ice cold beer to finish the job?"

Today mine told me "Everyone already thinks it's only a matter of time before you do, and the odds are stacked against you. You know all too well only 10% recover. Just do it and get it over with."

What a cheap shot.

Don't worry it will be different this time, this was a big one for me early on.

Today I have a choice and my choice is don't give it power tell on it like we are doing!!!

"No one will feel comfortable around you because you're a non drinker."

Really getting my Achilles heel with this theme.
Well I wouldn't feel comfortable with myelf if I compromised myself and drank. And being comfortable with myself has to come first for anything authentic to follow.

Mine was so loud I walked out of my AA meeting today. Told me I didn't need to be there.

You've had a very productive day. Time for a reward and relaxation...

A couple that my AV uses a lot:
Why even bother, you know you are gonna drink again this weekend like you always do.
And
How are you going to meet anyone, date if you don't drink

Ha. My addiction tried telling me this lie- Well Adrian is going with Jenny to your sisters house so you can just go and smoke a 10- maybe a twenty and then come back home, no one will know cause no one is at home with you. And when I heard them stupid lies I just laughed at it and thanked the Lord up above for giving me the strength to IGNORE them and the wisdom to know that those are just lies straight from the pits of hell-ADDICTION . Sometimes when I know that my son is going somewhere my mind tries to get me to believe that I can just do a little , but NO NO NO. I am determined to fight this fight with all that I have.

When mine starts on me in an AA meeting, I just tell say, "Catherine, you don't belong here. Get out."

Its told me that many people drink a lot and are just fine. I know this is a damn lie.

"You've been working so hard. How will you relax without me?"

"Oh really? How could I ever relax with the h3ll you always bring to my life?"

That watching Wimbledon will be far better with a bottle of wine.

What? Since when have tennis and wine been on the agenda? Now I know you are scraping the barrel AV!

"You're at the beginning stages of alcoholism. You haven't hit hard times yet. You still have a few good drinking years in you before you need to really do something about it"

Awesome thread.

Mine keeps telling me that my liver has had a good long rest and should be fine now. That it was just an inflammation and there is nothing to worry about.
