I didn't want to say it, but you are correct, GT. The cardinal rule of addiction — (
"never say never to the possible future use of alcohol and drugs") — runs rampant in society at large, and in the recovery ecosystem in particular. Since it obviously suggests the possibility of future drinking/using, AVRT will necessarily expose it as Addictive Voice. AVRT is a perfect shield against not only your own AV, but against the AV of others.
