Hey, soberlicious, how ya doin? Badass as ever, I assume?
Don't get me started again on the Buddhist parallels... but alas, I don't believe the reincarnation elements, so that particular horse must horse remain quite dead to me.
Imaquitter, I just realized you're in SD, too. AVRT must be taking a serious toll on local liquor sales....
OK, sorry, I know this isn't a social thread. So how about this for a topic: The popularization of the term "AV." It seems to be a lot more common on the newcomers threads. Often it seems people know little about AVRT; some are even active in AA or another recovery paradigm.
So—what do you guys make of that? On the one hand, I agree AVRT is incompatible with many other programs. But viewing the desire as originating from my addiction, not me, and thereby detaching from it, was incredibly helpful to me before I had heard about AVRT and the Big Plan.
