This is not uncommon, and I've heard such AV myself. If you were in the rooms for any significant amount of time, your AV is probably going to pump the 12-Step program at you, and will use the ubiquitous availability of AA as a causal pathway to the bottle. This is exactly what it did here, and it will continue to do so as long as you keep AA as a 'backup plan'.

Your previous posts indicate fairly clearly that you want out from AA, and AVRT provides an elegant way to do that. You simply make a Big Plan for AA, i.e., "I will never attend AA again, and I will never change my mind," and then recognize any ideas of going back to AA as the Addictive Voice itself. Your Beast will throw a fit, but it works like a charm.
