The key to AVRT is Recognition. Recognizing the Addictive Voice.
As Algorithm stated, the AV is a bogus survival drive created by alcohol use and abuse on our part. This takes place on the unconscious level, just as other survival drives like eating and breathing do. The unconscious mind works one third of a second faster than our conscious minds do. The AV is flooding our unconscious minds with drinking thoughts and cues and uses this third of a second to its advantage. Recognizing the AV and its thoughts reminds us that we have total control of our drinking. The AV is powerless. It can not make us pick up a drink not matter how greatly it wants to. We are in control 100 percent once we recognize the AV and its ruses to try to get us to drink.
Knowledge is power!
