My trigger point normally, the AV at this point tries to tell me I am not an alcoholic, so must be ready for this and take the relative steps to get past it

In my view it is not necessary to determine if you are an "alcoholic". What I figured out with some help of an AA old timer is this. He simply asked me: "Does alcohol consumption cause me problems?" If the answer is "Yes" then perhaps I would be better served by living my life without it.
For me it's really a one day at a time program. All I have is today and this morning I woke up sober and that's enough of a reward for not drinking yesterday. No hangover and not hating myself for drinking is pretty good stuff in my book.
What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.

Thank you everyone, I am cautious this week as the last time I gave up, it was around this time that the AV started, and yes AAPJ alcohol does cause me problems because I am an alcoholic and always will be, my life is better without it, thanks for your support

I'm new here, so not sure what AV means? Regardless, you've made a permanent decision that you know is right. No need to let anything else influence you otherwise. Stay strong.
