Fini, in response to your question about the Beast being immoral...no I don't think it is. I think the Beast is simply "doing it's job" in that it's only goal is to drink, so it doesn't have "morals" per se. To be immoral it would have to have morals that it was going against. It would have to know better. I consider it more amoral because a drive doesn't have morals, I do. So putting the alcohol in my body is immoral for me, because I *do* know full well the consequences.

I think the OP was simply musing about how shocking the thoughts can be sometimes coming from that part of the brain that wants a drink. Using death and suffering of loved ones as an excuse to drink is shocking (to us, not to the Beast). That's why the separation is such an important technique for me. I can realize that while it has no morals, I do.
