I like to strengthen "me" (the "I" in "I will never drink again"). That helps me to recognize "it" in a more efficient manner ("it" being the beast/addictive voice).
Attending SMART meetings and reading secular, psychological recovery books and information helps to both strengthen the "I" and weaken the "it".
Personally, I'm prone to letting "it" get the best of me. For me, it seems one way to resolve that issue is to strengthen the "I" part of the AVRT equation, and F2F SMART meetings seems to be one of a number of ways to achieve that goal. Unfortunately, I've found that attending non-secular meetings tend to have the opposite effect.
