No, I am not trying to goad you into an argument. You can, should, and probably will, do as you see fit, and you are correct in that only you can know whether or not you will drink again.

That does not bother me, although I have stated on multiple posts that most people quit entirely on their own, without any program, education, or training, including AVRT. This is, however, an AVRT thread, and the "Big Plan" is a key component of AVRT.
