Yes Jen I believe it can work for you. Just reading Freshstart57's post on "AVRT explained gave me the push I needed to just stop 2 weeks into a taper and I'm now 2 days without. I now identify myself as someone who does not drink--and NEVER will. Like you years of AA "powerlessness" never quite made too much sense to me-and always left an open door. This method removes the door completely and puts solid concrete in it's place.
