It's Friday.. Trying to shut my AV up.

5 days no alcohol, no cigarettes! But it's Friday, and that is a major trigger for me. Anyone else need to shut up their AV with me? Come on in!
Going to add: so far, I'm trying to remind myself the night sweats have finally ended, as well as the night time hallucinations, and going to bed without alcohol is finally not scary! Anyone else feeling their cravings and/or AV creeping up for the weekend?

Hi Jbhall! Congrats on day 5! Day 4 for me. And yes...Friday and weekends are a big trigger for me! I too need to shut up the AV!!!! A big F U to it!!! Here's to us shutting it down. I'm still feeling down from my last binge...its when I feel better that the AV is real strong and I think I can control it this time.

Hi,

Yes, I'm on day 31 and AV was a killer tonight (and I'm home alone until Tuesday).

But I've stayed strong k owing it's the addiction talking and I'm determined to stay strong.

This is hard isn't it? But we can be strong and support each other here at SR.

5 days is brilliant 😊

Congrats on 5 days!

Also congrats on calling out your AV and posting here.

I gave up trying to shut my AV up. I find it's easier to control what I hear than it is to control what it says.

Do whatever works for you!

You got this.

AVRT taught me how to stop the beast! Hang in there! It's a tricky mean SOB.

Oh I am hearing it big time tonight. I am home alone, husband is in Calif. seeing his mom and got written up at work even though I made steps to cover my ass on this particular incident making notes on who I called for this error. Working for a corporate establishment really sucks. I miss working for a Union property.
Anyway, if anyone has seen Airplane when the pilot says periodically, "I picked a bad week to stop....." that was the first thought in my head. This was a bad month I picked to stop drinking!!! Not really but that's the way I felt.
So I am home looking for a scary movie to watch and eating popcorn. Need to find a new job!!!
