AVRT is education on planned abstinence, and is based on the successful experience of those who recovered on their own, without any addiction treatment. AVRT is therefore a phenomenological method, based on the experience of the self-recovered population.

I posted this in another thread:

While you wait for the book to arrive, and after taking the free crash course, you can read through some of the various threads previously mentioned here. This would give you an excellent foundation in AVRT.
  1. RR
  2. Tatsy's Thread -
  3. Flame11's Thread -
  4. Behappy's Thread -
  5. Freshstart57's Thread -
  6. Tursiops999's Thread -

There are also various other threads tagged as relating to AVRT on the forums if you are interested in reading even more threads.
I suggest that you get yourself a copy of the RR: TNC book, and that you start reading it, along with the various threads discussing AVRT.
