That is great news, Mizzuno. The beauty of this simplest of plans is that it leaves the beast nowhere to hide. Anything at all that suggests other than your BigPlan is the beast.

Are you an addict? i mean you do drink and may be you hate it. but do you feel that you are in control of substance or is it like you are in controll of bad mind which does know what to do but can't execute that.
Tjololo, Mizzuno is working on a specific plan to stop drinking called Addictive Voice Recognition Technique. It is about learning how to identify the urge to drink and separating from it, and thinking that it comes from the 'animal part' of you. Mizzuno knows that she doesn't need to do what this voice says, and that she is more powerful than this Addictive Voice because it really can't do anything by itself. Making a promise to never drink again and never change her mind, the Big Plan, is a part of this AVRT.

I think you described the conflict we have in our minds - part of us wants a drink, and part of us knows better. This AVRT is a way to listen to the good mind, and ignore the bad mind, if you want to put it that way.

You can see more discussion about it in this forum, and by googling AVRT. If you have any questions, bring em on! Hope to see more of you around here, tjololo.
