Acting on the desire is removed completely with a Big Plan: "I will never drink again , and I will never change my mind".
From the millisecond after making a BP the Beast is walled off , put in a cage, is no longer free to use the AV to get You to give IT booze.
Any thought or image of future drinking , or doubt in your own ability to remain abstinent is recognized as AV and dismissed.
A Big Plan works whether the desire vanishes or not, drinking simply isn't an option in either case.
Your AV hopes you will not drink only when the desire is removed, turn the tables on IT and let it know you won't drink even before 'then'.
You can do it, Rootin for ya
