The way I see it is, the Beast is like a Tantruming toddler. It wants what it wants. There's no reasoning. I read some place about the eternal Now of infants and toddlers. I think the Beast is like that. I wouldn't argue or debate with a baby and I'm not going to debate with the Beast or AV. I acknowledge the stirring and let it go.
Galita, welcome! you can find the book at most books stores in the self help section or order it from Amazon. I think the title now is "The New Cure." Jack Trimpey wrote the first one as Rational Recovery. He's a little rabid against AA but it's a good theory and works for me.
