For me, I know little of AA but am beginning to learn after years of unfounded prejudice.
My stumbling block was admitting that I was powerless over alcohol. I didn't like that, and therefore didn't go to AA and carried on emanating power over my drinking by getting drunk every night
AVRT gave me a way in because I didn't have to say I was an alcoholic. It is empowering and very good for stubborn people like me.
However it does seem to exist as an antidote to AA and I think for a lot of people who have never been to AA it could exist in it's own right.
