I confess to not knowing anything about CBT because I do not care about CBT. I call what we do AVRT. If you want to call it CBT, go ahead, but don't expect me to.
I have no interest in psychology, psycho-babble, dual diagnosis, domestic problems, childhood traumas, getting picked last for kickball, grandpa's incontinence, weirdos showing you their weiner in the park, teenage acne, deaths in the family, bedwetting, inner children, hunger, loneliness, anger, fatigue, mean bosses, the decline of civilization, or the touching pathos and hypochondria and emotional dependence that permeates most drunks.
I care about abstinence. Not placing alcoholic beverages in the mouth.
