shut up AV!!

Today AV is in overdrive. On my 10th day and of course that devilish voice is saying " when are we going to reward ourself ( with alcohol, not chocolate!). You have been doing so well. You are strong. You don't have a problem. Just try to moderate...". All I can say is not today AV, not today....

Rewarding sobriety with alcohol is like rewarding cleaning with dirt.

You got this.

The more you deny it, the weaker the Voice will get. Sounds like you're doing great

I also had an AV conversation after work today.

The duality of what I want and what iIT wants is mind blowing.

It's sitting there in the corner all pitiful because I don't want to come out and play. Poor little AV, sniff sniff. LOL!

I find it best not to converse with the AV at all.

It wants nothing good for me.
Every second I allow it voice is wasted time

Funny....my AV is a little guy who looks like Marlon Brando in a black leather jacket. He stands on my shoulder with a cig hanging out of his mouth and a bottle of something in his hand. He tells me things like "you know you're not worth it right? you know you don't deserve love/respect/success right?". I so want to flick that little bastard off my shoulder for good and hearing you fight it whatcouldbe makes me believe that I will do it. Keep up the positive self talk....

Mine is Jon Lovitz.
"Yah,yah.....that's the ticket.
Older people might remember that from SNL.

Either way you see your AV, he needs a piece of duct tape over his mouth!

There will be a day that you'll laugh at the AV believe it or not. It becomes just plain silliness.

So glad you're hanging in here, remember, it's going to get better!

I think I'm going to start hearing my AV in Jon Lovitz' voice now. That actually might help me not drink. Thanks resolute! AV says, "Just a few drinks, that's the ticket." Me, "noooooo"
