I was expecting you AV, I have taken note of what you've said ie you can drink you can have just 2, you weren't that bad, thank you now *****FF and leave me to have a lovely day.

That pretty much describes much of my attitude in the early days of recovery. I held my AV in utter contempt, but along with that I was also terrified by it because I knew how powerful it was. Eventually, my contempt started to disappear along with my fear. This left me with a lack of emotions to further motivate my recovery.

But I also knew from experience that letting my emotions run my life is a sad way to live. From there on, I would have to rely on my best judgement along with cold logic. I replaced my contempt and fear with reason. When my AV complained, I reacted with, "Your objection is noted. But my decision has been made." I became my own boss. Who wants to get bossed around by their immature puck ass AV?

Yes definitely, I went out for a long walk and feel a lot better for it.

Way to go Mummy. Racking up the days and dealing with the AV. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day .

The first month or so (longer for me) there was a lot of AV talk. It settled down after awhile. You are doing so well. Keep doing well. You are changing your life.

Thank you 😊

That was how I turned the corner.
Realistic expectations.
That old rascal never gives up.
He does take longer naps, now, though!
I like what you're cooking there, Mummy.
Keep after it!
