It's not about winning, and I know you know that, so I'll take that comment as an inside joke.
I think your experience is vital, and important, and best shared without alluding to have had a previous semi-BP. I didn't know about AVRT in 1981 since AVRT came out in 1986 proper, and I certainly had complete separation in my mind. I called my "Beast" my "alcoholic mind" back then.
I called it a few other things too, but such language is filtered out, lol.
I don't agree that it was your "ignorance of separation" which got YOU returning to drinking/drugging/whatever. Just my opinion here, fwiw, I think you returned back then because "forever" was not truly part of the real deal you made with yourself. JUST MY OPINION.
