Hi Notincontrol, you are making sense, I understand. When I started writing in Secular, my Beast hated it, thought everyone who replied to me was being overly simplistic “you can’t stop drinking forever, that’s madness, you can only stop one day at a time” etc., because my Beast loved ODAAT, because it always had the loophole, to drink or not to drink, every, single, day.
There are a few of us AVRTers who read and post in secular, plus some scattered around SR forums, engaging with others. I would urge you to keep posting, here in your thread.
I still believe it might be a useful excercise for you, to reflect back on that moment when the ‘Beast’ plotted, planned and guided you to pick up the drink, what it’s mouthpiece, the AV said.
Don’t worry if you feel that won’t help, but please keep posting, because when you post, it’s you, as the Beast hates the finality of AVRT.
