I had a similar experience this morning.
Making coffee and deliberating about whether maybe I should make a full pot this time instead of a half. The thought occurs to me - "Perhaps those AA folks drink so much coffee because it gives them a little buzz. Nothing compared to being drunk, of course, but at least it's a buzz."
Immediately wondered if this thought came from AV, but let that question come and go.
Made a half pot.
I think my Beast was scoffing at 'those AA people' and their 'pitiful substitutes' and at the same time was trying to lead me down the path of being "just the same."
Rude.
