AVRT can actually provide a very potent defense against such a situation. Viewed through the lens of AVRT, the statement "I am powerless over my addiction" fits the definition of the Addictive Voice perfectly, since it necessarily suggests that someone will drink/use again unless they do certain things. AVRT will not only kill addictions, it will also inoculate against any thinking that might facilitate their continuance.
