Your AV will try to use all the previous failed attempts as "proof" that you are incompetent to stay sober. It will tell you that you are lying to yourself, which isn't possible, since it takes two people to lie. In order for a lie to work, the person hearing the lie needs to not already know the truth, but you already know what you intend to do. There is no need to build a defense, since you are the ultimate authority.
This is because the Beast can't do anything on its own, any more than your liver can. It can't go to the liquor store, order a drink, count the money, pay for it, and pour it down your throat. It has to convince you to do that, and if you aren't going to do that anymore, then that's just too bad for Mrs. Beast. Poor thing.
It might help to bring in the moral axis to this drinking thing in order to really pop the screws to the Beast. In other words, is it right or wrong for you to drink? If it is wrong, just how wrong is it? A little bit wrong, like fibbing, or very wrong, like stealing? I can't answer that for you, but if you can see that drinking is always wrong, the AV becomes an immoral proposition, easily recognized.
Remember also that AVRT is a
NOW approach, so even though the AV will try to argue that "you can say that now, but I'll get you then," when
then actually arrives, it will still be now. "I will never drink again" is equivalent to "I will never drink in the present moment." See this post on static time:
