Hi James!
I'm a big fan of RR and the AVRT model....it's shown me how to stop drinking for good. Having said that, I believe everyone's journey is different and you need to do what's best for you.
If that means going to meetings for face to face support, then go to meetings! That doesn't mean you can't still follow the AVRT model. You can add pieces to your plan and that's okay! The bottom line is staying quit and how you achieve that is totally up to you!
