P.S.for Terminally (sorry for any redundancy!) Would I be correct in concluding that this program consists in "outsourcing" the desire to drink to its origin, namely the Beast. "I", namely my conscious self, has been for years tormented by the Beast, which resides in my midbrain. Tormented in the sense that my conscious self didn't sufficiently realize that it had a beast to train and that this animal was playing all sorts of tricks to get its own way for years and years. So it's time that we get in a little bit of dog training, pit bull that is, and say to the Beast, "You're the one who wants to do the drinking. Not I!" And we're not going to do any more of that. You'll have to be satisfied with something else. (But that presents further problems- what might the Beast want to do? Better keep a close watch on this creature and do some real serious crate training.)
