Here's a potentially interesting facet to AVRT; I don't believe it's been discussed yet.
I wonder if many lurkers here are contemplating using AVRT for moderation. What if one were to create a Big Plan:
I will never drink during the week—and I will never change my mind.
On face value, it seems like a good idea. But would it work?
I don't ask this for myself; as someone who will never drink again the idea is pure Beast and therefore totally academic. However, in Googling AVRT I did find a web page that suggests such a notion. To me it seems like a bad idea because:
- If you need to go to these lengths to moderate, you are most likely better off abstaining
- You would keep your Beast extremely active and alive if it was getting regular fixes
I thought this might be worth discussing since I'm sure it crosses some people's minds who are new to AVRT.
I know for personal experience, I bought the Allen Carr book with the intention of using it for one month only. Suffice to say it does not work like that.
