Congratulations on your decision !
Another form of shifting (perhaps, not sure technically as per RR, though I don't see why it isn't or wouldn't be) is to consciously and purposefully add "ever" to the phrase "don't drink" , Think/say directly at/to your Beast " I will Never drink again, and I will not change my mind" , that will always give a little tingle( and that tingle is AV, yeah ?)
Just as residual desire is not a problem and 100% ignorable, so too is any doubt in your ability to remain abstinent, again congratulations on your decision ! Another badass in this corner of the webs , awesome
