Thank you all very, very much. Everything you have said makes perfect sense. My mind has been swinging back and forth like a pendulum, conjuring up both sane and insane thoughts in what seems to be rapid succession. I’m obviously less secure in my sobriety as a result. There’s no way I’ll go drinking this weekend, so I’ll let my friend know that it’s not such a good idea. I’m just exasperated with experiencing the constant loss of conviction due my obnoxiously determined AV. Thanks again.
