Addiction recovery can become obfuscated by the infusion of theories that, while possibly interesting, have no actual bearing on the way people usually self-recover. AVRT is an attempt to cut through the fog, simply all of this, and get right to the heart of the matter. The message of AVRT is: addiction is a complicated, convoluted mess, but recovery is not. Once you are shown how it is done, recovery is simple, and anyone can learn how to quit for good.
