On the avrt side, you have this crazy liar beast of a voice that lives in your head and you get to do battle with that.
I m not sure the scary thing is the beast (actually I like the concept) what is scary with AVRT is that if you screw up it is completely, 100% on
you.
AVRT is something that people do alone so it leaves no room for quacking and for the blame game. You can't blame your spouse, your sponsor, the group, recoveryism or the tooth fairy if you drink: you quit alone and whatever thought led to you picking up it was your av in action and you were a sucker for listening to it.
