Well,
That demonic “voice” snuck up on me this morning.
I must say-
I almost went to get booze. Nowadays,everything is much better and so is my mental state. So I guess this would be the time to really chill out ... with my poison of choice.
Then something reminded me that when I’d sober up, the weird anxiety/sadness would return. The fear that has no basis. The whole situation that I’ve tried so hard to reverse.
Sneaky stuff, these feelings of wanting to drink.
But at the same time- and this is new- I didn’t want to.
Impossible to explain and I don’t know precisely what happened but I’m fighting through this.
It’s going to be interesting to see if this wanting to drink feeling goes away.
Actually, I think it’s already fading...

The inner dialogue between Me and the Inner Evil voice is usually very brief. It says "I could get drunk!" And I always respond with "No, you can't!" And I literally mean, no I physically cannot go purchase booze and drink it. It would lead to my death, and since I'm not suicidal, therefore no, I cannot get drunk. There's just nothing there to argue about...

The more you get used to riding those cravings out the faster they go away. It's good to shut the AV down in it's tracks the more you do the less power it has. I learned to accept my cravings and accept that they would pass if I held out and I found it easier than trying to get my mind off of it when they would happen.
