It will even do it under the guise of protecting you....
The constraints of this particular forum rules aside, noones prescribing the way you have to get sober Tatsy

This is what I wanted to say, too - I cannot really grasp your concept of the AV (I have not studied the intellectual methods, if you will, sufficiently enough to speak on them except that the AV concept makes no sense to me). To me, it still seems you are giving your power to something(s) else. I'm not trying to tell you that you must have a spiritual component. But I am kindly saying that the idea of being in control, as you explain it, still seems conditional on MANY things.
Sometimes I think of what my dad (ALWAYSSSS) told me: simplify. When I get all jumbled up in my head, with lengthy whys and wherefores, I could very well be making a situation worse, serving to confuse myself and the action I truly need to take -and, basically, I need to cut the c**p.
You know I'm rooting for you.
