Not add confusion for confusion's sake, but Beast/AV activity feeling the tantrums the deprived little Beast feels is in AVRT a welcome thing.
No one wishes for discomfort, but recognizing it as coming from the Beast , and separating from the feeling of deprivation and assigning that to the Beast makes the unease not only tolerable but helps to focus on the idea of separation.
The desire for alcohol will always exist, after committing to a BP the choice of drinking is no longer an option , it has been removed. Recognizing the fact that refraining from self intoxication is not, in any rational sense, an act deprivation , the feeling that it is is more easily seen as a ruse, as the result of errant drive.
A drive over which we always have the power to override.
I'd also say that in ten years none of us would be any 'worse' at it
