Same here. I'd say my 15+ years of alcohol addiction did not qualify me for "an earlier stage of addiction", when I quit in much the same way. That was a long time ago (20+ years), and I find AVRT just as relevant for me today as it was then. Maybe more so. I am NEVER going to drink again. Big plans can last MANY years.
