so i'm totally missing the point of AVRT when i assume the "AV" which i think of in terms i attempted to describe earlier as the knee-jerk-urge is coming from my alcoholic mind. and the reason i'm totally missing that point is because the way you use "alcoholic mind" is only existent, so to speak, if you have the AA-defined alcoholism.

phew, did i get that now?

and if i did get it, then...more unsureness. oh yes, agreed about the value of uncertainty. and the enjoyment of the conversation. thanks.
