When I posted my OP I thought that RR and AVRT were separate methods hence my question, thanks to your responses I've been able to sort that. I see that SMART has the same origins but has developed a slightly different method.
My plan over the Easter break is to read all the threads Received kindly bumped for me (starting with Part 1), then go back to RR. This black and white method appeals to me enormously especially as it is based on the separation of the thinking self and the AV.
Prior to learning of RR I was depressed about forever labelling myself as an alcoholic and being fearful of relapses when I felt that I could prevent relapse, so RR seems a great fit with my thinking.
