I hear you, thanks for that useful explanation. I appreciate the encouraging thoughtfulness of your words.
I knew there was a line in the book somewhere about how nothing 'works' with addictions, but I couldn't remember where. I finally found it. This should shed further light on what Trimpey means when he says that "When you doubt AVRT, you are only doubting... your own ability to quit your addiction..." (RR:TNC, Pg. 41).

Rational Recovery asserts that no thing works with substance addiction, but anyone can quit now for good. The new cure for substance addiction is individual responsibility.
