PS: AVRT version of your signature saying: First the man takes a drink, then the man with his happy Beast takes a drink, then the man with a demanding Beast takes a drink against his own better judgement.
Or: First the man takes a puff of hoot, then the man with his happy Beast takes a puff of hoot, then the man with a demanding Beast takes a puff of hoot against his own better judgement.

IT rattles the cage now, thinking about a trip to Jamaica , to me ITconjures up all things rum and ghanja . Silly , stupid Beast , I realize I am not depriving myself of anything, not anything worth it , IT doesnt have the power to make me feel pissy , that is all on me and the sooner I realized that part too, the even sillier the Beast seems.

Well, I am feeling pretty damn good. Other than constant thoughts that I should smoke on weekends only, which I have finally come to realize isn't me, its the beast that wants me to numb out.
So far so good, IT hasn't had a drink or a hoot in 3 days!

Sure, feel free.
And let us know if and when you decide to turn the tables against your happy hoot Beast and kill off the 'Stoned You'.

The Past: regret, resentment, anger, sadness, self-pity, would've, should've, could'ves.......you might as well drink;
The Present: this is fantastic, this is exciting, this is awesome, this is boring, this is maddening, this is unfair, how dare they, I can't stand this, why me.......I might as well drink;
The Future: I'm doomed, there's no hope for me, I'm afraid, I'm scared, It's too late, I'll never live long anyway after all the damage I've done, just one more night and then I'll start again tomorrow.......I might as well drink.
I'm sure your Beast has similar habitual thought patterns, enticing you to drink/smoke Its favourite stuff. What are your Beast's favourite AV thoughts?

I had some workmen around today and every hour or so I asked them if they wanted a tea or coffee. That's my natural drinking rate which is probably too high, ah well. The situation made me think of AV. They couldn't stop me asking (because it was my house) and they may have found me irritating, though I hope not, but all they had I do was say no if they didn't want a drink and I would have gone away, and to reappear from my lair an hour later of course.

A real tea hound eh? I don't know if you were trying to be funny but I find this analogy to be quite apt and cute.

Just keep recognizing your AV and stay true to your BP and you'll be fine.
