Interesting, MrRitter. I found that the my beast would use much more devious and damaging things, especially when it came to confidence in myself around my resolve and ability. When I was working at accepting my big plan, the AV was saying some pretty brutal things. Since they were pointing at getting me to drink again, or at making me feel incapable, I knew where these thoughts came from, and because of that, I knew what to do with them. No fight, no wrassling, just acceptance without judgement or hankie twisting.
