Sounds like you're doing very well. Thats great! I thought my Beast was dead and buried until the last few days - he (mine is male) has been resurected to remind me that Renaissance Faire season is coming up - and hey - it's been so long since Pam has had a drink - surely she can have a few at The Faire...
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, it's good that I am reminded that The Beast is still there. But, that's too bad because I don't drink, so he will have to deal with it!
What I have also found to be true, at least for me, is that once I made my Big Plan, my AV became much more easily recognizable and identifiable.
