AVRT could be successfully used for both, but at no point did I see anything in me that i might conceivably call smokism.
Exactly. There is no "ism" to your addiction to nicotine, but there is an "ism" to your alcohol addiction? The substance or DOC makes a difference? Not for me.

AA sobriety and AVRT are different categories, nothing to compare. one is a tool, the other a "belief", if you will.
If you study them both, I think it would be impossible to practice both simultaneously, as they are written and intended to be applied. Additionally, AVRT has at it's core many beliefs, which are the basis for it's techniques.
