I think I am good now (right now), but am concerned my alcohol thoughts were gone for so many weeks and now all of a sudden I get these strong pulls.
I recognize that the thoughts are The Beast, but my retaliation seems dimmed.
Anyway, good for now, but was hoping The Beast would be more tamed by now.

Hi Tammy,
Don't fight or struggle with your Beast. Don't attempt to tame your Beast. Let your Beast howl and prowl about. Its nothing to be concerned about, okay?
Eventually, your experience with AVRT will have your Beast helpless, and you'll absolutely enjoy kicking it to the curb, and simply walking on by, like you have so much more to live for, and of course you do! And so, your Beast will just be reduced to a whimper and it will crawl away... hoping for another day, lol.
