Thanks.
My advice is to go through the 'Bullets for My Beast' slideshow/presentation. I did so in early October 2012 and have never touched a drop since. It was all I needed. I understand there are books and supplemental materials for those that need or desire them but just the 'Crash Course' was enough for me.
FWIW, and without knocking any other programs, AVRT discourages "recoveryism" and meetings. For my own part I agree, at least as it applies to myself.
One thing AVRT and AA have in common though is their core requirement- a sincere desire to stop drinking. If you don't truly want it deep down than your Big Plan will be a sham, a lie, and you won't stick with it. Look into your soul and ask yourself if you're ready to be a non-drinker for the rest of your life. I'm not being facetious at all. If you're not ready then nothing will help you stop. But you appear to be very eager to stop, and AVRT might be all that you need!
