I concur FT, I have been lurking on this thread for some time. I have tried numerous approaches over the years, with some lengthy periods of sobriety. A few weeks ago I chose to drink again, and a few days ago I quit again. Looking to answer the usual question "what will I do different this time?", because of this thread I got a copy of RR-TNC off ebay for $5 shipped.
My book mark is at page 133 now, the Big Plan process. I am not trying to re-ignite anything, but I can see using AVRT to manage cravings without making some Big Plan that is something of a sticking point, or a source of some anxiety for me. And I can certainly see that not having one would be not really committing to the approach. Sort of like when I did the first 3/12 steps and decided I didn't like that approach.
Anyway I'll continue to work my way through the book and I will continue to follow the discussion here. I appreciate everyone's participation and input.
