Right now I’m still working on Allen Carr’s approach to stop drinking. I truly want to be free. With no desire to drink at all.
By always there I meant that the desire is not totally removed , the experience of feeling the desire for alcohol can/will 'pop up' fro time to time.
A Big Plan is what you plan to do when/if the Beast lets you know IT wants some more booze, and that is to ignore it. A Big Plan gives you the confidence to know you can/will remain abstinent no matter how active the Beast happens to be.
I used to love to get drunk, loved the feeling of getting and keeping a buzz going, that was the birth of my Beast . I no longer drink in spite of that , too bad for the Beast , IT wants me to start loving it again , to get ITs booze.
