Thing to remember is your AV is telling you a drink will make you feel better. Youre remembering the times it did- briefly.
The days of a nice one or two hour respite are GONE.
For us, we have crossed the invisible line. We go directly to HELL.
Your AV will try to convince you to do more "research". It will tell you maybe this time it will be different.
Try to remember all the times drinking led you to a terrible place.
Dont believe the lies that alcohol will take your distress away and make it all better.
All lies.
You can breathe and let this pass

I hope you're sleeping now, Mummy.
But if you're not,
- take a bath
- organize a drawer (or several)
- play one of those solo games on your phone
- clean a cupboard
Anything physical that involves some brain activity helps.
This will pass - it always does. Fighting it makes it take longer. Rolling with it/breathing helps it to fade away.

I don't think I've ever heard the word knarky before, that's a weird one. Gittery I sorta halfway recognize despite being seeming fairly strange to me as well. Probably non-American type words, that's my theory.
Yeah, you don't have to drink when those stray thoughts appear in your mind, thoughts come and go and most are often nothing really, dime a dozen. Say to yourself "there's a silly idea" etc.

I found it in the dictionary, usually spelled narky, and as you might guess, it has the same meaning as snarky.
Great job, Mummy. I need to we’ve HALT and posting here. I unfortunately gave into my demons AV the other day. I can’t give up. I have too much to lose. Definitely going to look upnurge surfing as well. Thanks for posting. It reminds me of what I need to be doing to beat this.
