Agreed. This kind of engagement with the AV is just not sustainable over time.
I have heard the phrase "cunning, baffling, and powerful" before. The AV is cunning for sure. It will work every single angle and has major endurance toward it's goal. Baffling? NO. It is not baffling at all that "it" wants to get drunk. Not a surprise, not confusing, not new information. That is clearly understood. Powerful? It only has the power that you assign it.
When the AV wants to play, you have the power to change the rules of the game. Do not engage. Do not lob the ball back. Put the racket down and walk away. Game over.
With consistency, it will get easier. I agree with Pam. It is similar to modifying behaviors in children. Power struggles always end poorly.

I honestly don't believe I got any beast activity for the first few months, then the other day I had a great one...I was still feeling pretty sh;tty and I suddenly thought, 'well, just give it a year and see how you feel then', like I would start drinking if I didn't feel any better! Sneaky.
Well done Justaride. It sounds like you've really got the hang of this
Great post x
