There was a link posted on another thread to a website peddling an 'adapted' perversion of AVRT that intentionally allows for planned drunks.
Word to the wise: THIS IS NOT AVRT.
Addiction recovery, as defined by AVRT, is planned, permanent abstinence. The Addictive Voice, as defined by AVRT is
"any thinking, imagery, or feeling that supports or suggests the possible future use of alcohol or drugs -- ever."
Harm reduction assumes that you will keep drinking and getting high,
actively and purposefully. By their own definition and mission statement, "HAMS is
all about empowering people to use alcohol or drugs in a safe and sane manner." If that isn't pristine Addictive Voice, I don't know what is. Those harm reductionists on that web site are making things up as they go along so that they can keep getting high.

In the logic of AVRT, the absence of a plan to quit for good is a plan, now, to drink.
