I have found that maladaptive appetite for alcohol to have directly contributed to making trouble for me in the past. From my readings here, that also seems to be a normal experience.
Strike me as odd? Not my first rodeo, lol.
Newatthis has already expressed a working understanding of the AVRT Beast in other posts. As well, NAT was speaking for her/him self as he/she saw fit, which I have no problem with when folks do so, so the share looks all good to me.
Strictly speaking, it was not the appetite itself which caused you trouble, it was drinking alcohol to satisfy that appetite is what I think is more true, yeah?
