I see a therapist who has been immensely helpful with life stuff. It took me interviewing several before I found one that believed there are many paths to recovery and strongly believes the Rational Recovery/AVRT method is a way to achieve permanent abstinence.

So, we don't talk about drinking or thinking of drinking because any thought of drinking is my Addictive Voice, not ME and I will never drink again so no use blathering on about that nonsense. We work on my PTSD, anxiety and use a cognitive approach. It's been enormously helpful.
