An addictive personality is an addictive personality I know. I am not recommending this for people who know they have this. Simply putting it out there. I am NOT an alcoholic, but I do enjoy drinking on occasion. Shobbos etc... Ive noticed ONCE IN A WHILE when I'm RED HOT about to fall, if I drink some alcohol the HEAT and DESIRE dissipates a bit. The euphoria of liquor can replace the desire of sin ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS. And RESPONSIBLY. Has anyone ever experienced this as well? And do you think , if done in moderation and responsibly (and are a NON ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY) is halachically OK and actually GOOD. Using something physical.. wine/liquor, like on yom tov/shobbos, and elevating it as a tool to do a mitzvah or OVERCOME a sin.

I think you sure made sure we were sure that you sure don't mean to go overboard. But couldn't you have posted this in adar. I suppose it could work, although i don't have any experence in AA, perhalps it can be a slippery slope.
Wouldnt work for me though, lots of my triggers are while driving.....

It reminds me, that i once heard that a certain rebba once told his chasiddim that if they ever felt the urge to sin, they should eat instead. Sort of move the animilistic craving into a more permitted area. By the look of things, they took his advice very seriously.
