Not if don't want it to be.
That 'battle' is the AV , that little voice in your head screaming about how IT wants You to get more booze.
Learning about AVRT( great threads here on SR in the Secular Connections forum on these ideas) helped me gain a new perspective on that 'battle' and how to just let it be, let it blow Itself out, by me starving IT out. Maybe check out some threads there.
wish you well and hope to see you around
