What is the rational part of your thinking's plan for future alcohol use ?
Yes to the first. I don't understand the second bit.

So WalkB4MR, what do you say? Are you ready to make your plan about continuing to use alcohol?
This sounds like ME. Thanks.
I need to read more about the Big Plan.

"And I will never change my mind." is part of the
Big Plan that can be used in conjunction with AVRT. You can still use AVRT and not have a Big Plan. I do.
I like your tag line about mistakes. Maybe I just made a mistake in October and NOW I will never change my mind!
