Just a thought in general about the concept...

If you tempt your Beast in order to strengthen your defense against it in potential future situations, aren't you saying that you're not 100% sure and confident that you will never drink again? If testing your Beast is being done in order to "strengthen your defense" in future circumstances, aren't you also then admitting a weakness? And anything that undermines your confidence to abstain is your Addictive Voice...

I don't adhere to AVRT in the 100% mode...I don't do that with anything in fact. I see the intelligence behind preparedness though; human beings are fallible and therefore you should do what you can to intelligently prepare for tempting situations but I don't know why Trimpey would suggest that, if it is in fact the AV telling you to do the tempting.
