Woke up, had a cup of tea, and suddenly a thought, seemingly independent of me went "hey, you have tomorrow off and no one is here, you could get drunk clean up tomorrow and it wouldn't even be a big deal".

One day at a time, but right now, there's about as much chance as me asking the neighbours if they have any spare salt completely naked except for an oversized cowboy hat on a whim than going to the store. for booze. Nah, no, absolutely not, get the f outta here, not a chance. Be gone.

Yes, I sometimes get that voice too when I have some free time ahead of me and the thought process is much the same - drink today and get drunk, deal with the aftermath tomorrow and then act normal the day after that. Except it never usually works that way. I would just continue drinking tomorrow and probably the day after that too.

Well done for seeing the thought process for what it is - the AV in action - and not entertaining it or giving in to it.

I actually stopped being able to drink consecutive days about a decade into my drinking, I probably just wrecked my stomach by that point, and I think that inability probably saved my life because it meant I had to take at least one day break between drinking.

yuuuuuup. Good, bad, indifferent. The addiction has every angle.

I don't drink any more. Born again non drinker. Proud and not so loud.

Relaxed, content, blessed to have found this place.

Thanks.

Been there, done that. Too many times. Keep on keeping on!

Well done on resisting.

I know that voice.
Used to rattle me.
Now I just laugh at the dumb ideas it comes up with.

That's the way to do it.
