AVRT is a seed idea, that once implanted, usually grows on its own. It eventually operates like anti-virus software, protecting you in the background. Additionally, AVRT will give you a hyper-awareness of the addictive mentality, and you'll start to see both addiction and recovery in a very different light. For me, the cognitive dissonance became too much, and I concluded that I did not belong in meetings.
