Ah yes, the AV loves that one. The truth is though, this is how people quit. Even people who use other methods will often say that they've taken drinking off the table as an option ever, or they say things like "Don't drink", "keep it simple", "put a (plastic) chip in your mouth, and when it dissolves, then you can drink". Those are all basic variations on the concept of never. The reality is, the
only way to get out from under addiction to alcohol is to
not put alcohol in your body. By not committing to forever, you are simply on and off the hamster wheel of addiction. AVRT removes the wheel entirely.
