You pose good questions. I am very interested in hearing other's answers. I was wondering how some of the very opposing points of the two methods could really and truly be reconciled.
One being the one you brought up, Robby.
Another being, how does one practice ODAAT and have a BP simultaneously?
Also, the question of HP. Remembering that lots of AVRT users have religious beliefs, but they are not used in ending their addiction, also keeping in mind many atheist AAers successfully use the program without a HP...all that is understood, but my question is, how would one work daily to maintain spiritual fitness in order to remain sober, and at the same time have no conditions to their abstinence?
