I hear ya. I respect your position. Since we are on a "recovery forum" though, I will just share my own experience. I had the same mentality. Done. Don't care about technicalities. And, with that, I did not drink for 10 years. 10 happy, productive, fairly "normal" years. Then...I drank again after that long, and of course became quickly readdicted. Sadly, I wasted another 7 years of my life, and this time took three young children along for the ride.
Why? to be honest...it's because I didn't understand the technicalities.
I don't subscribe to any "program". I only learned about AVRT after I quit this second time. I have a working knowledge of many programs. Understanding the mind, especially the addicted mind, has been key in my journey. Ignorance is bliss...but for me, it has proven dangerous.
Just throwin' that out there.
I'm super happy that you are finding some peace!
