GT,
this was from your response to my initial question.
and i said i felt unheard.
the reason for that relates to this: even though i spoke of my own experience in one paragraph in my initial post, the thread i started was not about my experience.
my OP is about the AVRT response to relapse (yes, i know, Trimpey says there is no relapse after a BP).
i did not engage with you about the above because i did not wish to have an AVRT analysis of my past drinking episodes, nor did i wish to dissect how i felt specifically just before i took a drink.
it's not what my point for this thread was AT ALL.
in any case, the important time for me was not before the first swallow. it was long before that.
if i were to ever drink again, the important time would not be the moment before the first swallow. that's not when something would be going awry. things would be "wrong" long before that.
