I am further along in the RR in the book and between this thread and the book I am learning a lot. I notice a lot of beast activity in the evenings. Specifically when I am bored and lonely and just plain don't know what to do with my time. My question is .....Is my beast creating the lonely feelings, or are these lonely, bored feelings genuinely "Mine" and the beast is just exploiting them to try and get me to get buzzed? I know that AVRT isn't meant to fix any other issues we have, it's only meant to get us to abstain. Once we are abstinent, we can then deal with other issues. The loneliness issue is a tough one to distinguish for me.
BTW, thanks FT.
