I Do want to quit, but I (my Beast) also equates drinking with the concept of 'coping' with my very intense daily requirements. My job is extremely stressful, which to most people is a pathetic excuse. However, when the stress of the day hits, 'I' let my Beast take control.
I DO agree with the AVRT concept.
I expect the typical feedabck will be that I DO NOT YET WANT TO QUIT, but I am hoping someone else here has had MORE THAN THE TYPICAL AVRT EASY QUIT EXPERIENCE. Please help with some feedback that may actually help me make progress, and not just justify YOUR EASY-QUIT Experience.
Thank You, Sincerely

If you do the following two things, I bet your job will become less stressful and your daily requirements will become less intense.
1 - Stop drinking for a month
2 - Recognize, and possibly even keep a record of, what your Addictive Voice is saying and feeling, particularly in relation to your job.
