The Desire to use is Removed; the seven-month table-crack crisis

pivotal · ~4-7 months into residency, YDPAH-YDAU

• When: the Desire Removed at "about four months"/"maybe five months" into residency; the forehead-crack crisis "At about seven months"
• What: The agonizing Desire to use was "mysteriously magically" Removed at about four-to-five months (he realized it on the 0430 Green Line to the Shattuck). At about seven months, still tormented by not understanding how AA worked, he cracked a Provident tabletop with his forehead, after which Ferocious Francis took him for coffee. State-change core: the obsession lifting without his understanding why.
