Try the addiction diction (changing "I" to "IT") on your own posts, Stayinfree.

See the difference? The Beast is deprived, not you.
You say you've stuck to your Big Plan, but is there any reason that you wouldn't stick to it? Can you afford not to stick to it?
If you want to have some fun, try asking your Beast under what circumstances you wouldn't stick to your Big Plan. I did this once, and my Beast started telling me all of the lines and situations that it would try to use in the future. Good stuff to know.
