I read the book years ago,, giving it another go.
I think i bought this book more that five years ago, read it followed through , was sober for quite some time and then fell back into old habits. Ive been turning the house upside down to find it, and could not. Ive taken the AVRT crash course online, and can totally relate. Ive obviously already be recognizing this AV in my head for the past two week ( sober yay!) Was pretty strong a few days ago and almost gave in to it. I recognize it now, and basically told it to shut the H**L up. Could almost see it retreating into the darkness. Felt damn good. I think this is more my style. I know after much though, that AA is not for me. It may work for some ,but ive tried it, and it doesn not work for me. I can identify with AVRT make more sense. So far so good, when the AV rears its ugly head , i cant wait to tell it exactly where to go. Bout time.
