If you havent read up on Rational recovery, I strongly suggest that you check it out.

Aside from the AA bashing, the stuff on addiction ambivalence and AV i.e. the "beast" is interesting.

It explains the concept of a big plan. I will never drink again and I will never change my mind is doable in the bigger context of Rational Recovery, because YOU aren't the one with the doubts. Thats addictive voice that creeps in. THAT voice will ALWAYS want you to drink.

So perhaps you can negotiate with it. You WILL drink again. On your 200th birthday.
