This is awesome UB - really helps put things in perspective! Forever seems like a long time, but you are so right that it's the AV telling me I could never live the rest of my life without a drink...so self-important that little voice is! From now on I am going to recognize my AV and be like "I don't ever need you in my life again and if you never pass my lips until the day I die, I will be not only fine, but better!"
