Thanks again Terminally Unique for sharing all of this information. Since yesterday I have gone through every link that you provided, and have read through the entire thread. Will be ordering the book today.
After reading the information, I know this will work. Total permanent abstinence was my goal already, and this is the only "system" that has that goal in mind.
What strikes me about AVRT is its simplicity and its perfection. Once I have disassociated myself from my desire to drink (and name It), there is simply no way for the Beast to get out of its cage unless I let it out! There are NO loopholes! Any argument otherwise IS the Beast by definition.
I guess that the hardest part now is recognizing the Beast's different disguises. I am looking forward to the book.
