I really like the concept of AVRT. I too have never considered it. I was clean for around 10 years but now have 8 days.
The old-timers in AA sometimes seem to indicate that AA is all you need. Mr. Trimpey seems to indicate that AVRT is all you need.
I hope to be able to pick whats best for me from both.
However, I also realize that my best thinking is what got me here. I need to stay open-minded to all. I'm pretty sure that my thinking at 8 days is not going to be the same days/months/years from now.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm trying to not get cocky and make any black & white or absolute decisions right now. Not drinking between now and bedtime and recognizing my AV in its many forms today just might be enough for today.
We can do this guys. Have a great day.
