Welecome to SR, Hendrix! Good to have you aboard. I too use AVRT, going on about 25 months sober now. It's not just the Beast rattling around at 11 days, it's also an adjustment process for your brain and body. Blood chemistry wise, as you know, the body adapts to running on alcohol in a sense. It's kind of a shock to the system when you stop.
Hang in there! Keep using AVRT. The Beast can't make you so much as wiggle a finger and so it certainly can't make you drink. Beware though- it's crafty. It will try to trick you into thinking its voice it your own higher voice.
