You have every right to believe what you choose, but I believe it's useful to point out that the direct goal of The Big Plan backed up by Addictive Voice Recognition Technique is to actually try to KILL that Beast of Rational Recovery. IT may never completely die, but in my case (and Soberlicious also realizes this in herself) I no longer recall the sensation of being under the influence of alcohol. I do not remember what it feels like to be drunk or even buzzed. In terms of my personal morality - "I have forgotten to do evil" (from a 17th century publication about temperance and patience). I believe this is what happens to the vast majority of people who end addictions (and recoveryism if attempted) for good and get on with life.
