But re. your post:
My own experience is that I also needed, and still need, to apply the technique of recognising and separating from AV. I am 100% certain I will remain abstinent if I do this. Not so sure I will if I don't.
You can be 100% certain that
by recognizing and separating from AV you will remain abstinent, after you have made a BP.
Both 'if's are AV , they suggest the possibility of changing your mind.
