Your post doesn't sound like excuses to me....
It sounds like AV. It sounds like the beast. It sounds like your Gollum.
Couldn't possibly attempt to quit till you've got your PHD in AVRT - no point doing it half arsed - who could disagree with that. You AV is likely telling you that now that you've got the answer all laid out for you in this terrific book, that you can ditch this whole recovery thing for a couple more years and stop posting at this silly website.
YOU know for a fact that YOU want to quit drinking...look at your posts. The only one that isn't ready is your BEAST.
By quitting drinking you will finally be able to get some separation between you and the beast and finally become aware of the hypocrisy and the nonsense of this addiction that has you by the throat.
Taking control of it - exerting authority over it - is one of the most liberating things you will ever do in your life.
You need to give yourself a deadline - pick a day - if it isn't going to be today then when is it going to be? Tomorrow? Friday? Pick a day and see what your beast has to say about it? Now move it forward a few days and see how it reacts?
