To me once I make the decision to be a forever non drinker, where I go should be irrelevant, If I am in that situation and my beast/av starts talking I just need to tell it to shut up. Do you think that subconsciously I could be setting myself up for failure? It was just an interesting perspective and one I don't think I believe now I have thought it through. I would just need to ignore the voice... or am I justifying unwise behavior as that person suggested. Thoughts?
Relapse has nothing to do with recovery, Zero. So with that understanding grasped, any ideations of relapsing is of course the Beast, and AVRT will absolutely when applied remove all chance of relapse because the ideations will be vaporized, and more importantly be recognised as the Beast being itself and so relapse's are impossible under those conditions.

I should say here that I'm only just now learning about AVRT, and so take my opinion for what it is: a student of AVRT.
