Welcome to SR, Quinnleigh!
You have a great start with this amazing thread! So much honesty and experience coming from all directions, lol. You're in good company for sure.
AVRT is a self-learned skill. Trial and error experience. As we go along, our clarity becomes crystal and sure. As we separate from our AV, as we realise it is our respective Beast's addictive desire for alcohol, and not of our own... as we feel our Beast's feelings as not ours, then we truly are able to more experience the real life of a non-drinker, a happy and satisfying daily experience for so many who have quit drinking now and forever.
Forget about forever for now. Now is enough to eventually bring you into forever. It will happen for you, no problemo. Eventually, the idea of forever will bring a sense of deep gratitude and surety that all is well with the universe no matter the challenge before any of us.
Your Big Plan will come into its own soon enough. As was noted by several posters in the thread, our Beast of course hates Big Plans, and will do anything to use our own Big Plans against us. Not a problem, really, when one gets past the fears and doubts we all have had early on in our experience of quitting drinking, we realise the Beast is the one who is actually afraid, and doubtful. We are in fact resolute with our Big Plan in hand.
AVRT is an intimate personal experience of a beautiful event, and series of events, of becoming and being now and forever, a non-drinker!
Awesomely interesting thread.
