Hi elleb. I'm a bit unsure exactly what you are asking. Are you asking about using AVRT to quit smoking and help with anxiety or as a way to achieve permanent abstinence from alcohol?
There is a lot of information about AVRT on our Secular Forum.
Here is part 5 of AVRT discussion which will also have links to parts 1 - 4:

Here is another link in our Secular Forum/Secular Connections that speaks to AVRT:

I used Rational Recovery AVRT to achieve permanent abstinence from alcohol. If you'd like to know about Rational Recovery/AVRT you can google to find the site. There, you can learn a lot more about it and even take the crash course which takes no longer then 15 minutes.
