Firebird was talking about choice and getting back control . Jim was talking about the need to control and not be passive . This connects with those concerns .
We all know the old trick of drinking weeker drinks , something that didn't work when you've got a real thirst on but worth it for the times it does .
Well , I'm finding it more than useful now as I advance in my de addiction .(3 months in ! )
people keep getting that week desire to drink and want to but not much and it 's particularly in this situation that i find it really valuable . So I have this large bottle of week cider and I say ok time to practice extinction , decant and three tankards go down slowly over an evening . if you try something similar you'll notice you get tired of the sheer volume it satisfies the week desire and the quantity is really safe .
this is riding the wave of NAL and tsm and taking initiative , it's also not difficult .
