The insanity of alcoholism is that we return again and again to alcohol, despite all the misery and despair and chaos that drinking brings with it. That alcoholic insanity, for many, is personified by the the AV, the beast.

Here is how I disassociated myself from the beast. I quit drinking because I made a clear, rational, and sane decision to quit. I'm never going to drink again. After that "plan" is in place, any thoughts of drinking is clearly the insanity of alcoholism. Even if it's "my" voice, it doesn't matter. I will not listen to anything that will cause me to perform an insane act.

And drinking would be insane.
