Congratulations Aellyce on your decision!
The Beast is the urge/desire for alcohol and it manifests that urge in cravings and the rationalizations of the AV , but AV is also any doubt in your ability to remain abstinent and live comfortably in the face of residual desire.
Imagine the audacity of pledging to one's self to be permanently abstinent, actually you have already imagined it!! What is left now is to enjoy your life in the face of your audacity !!
My Beast hates the idea of never again getting its precious stuff, I'm grateful to myself for knowing I'll never again be a drunk
