I always wonder, if they "cure my addiction" can I go tie one off after and not face any problems nor consequences?
The cure Rational Recovery talks about is planned permanent abstinence. I will never drink again and I will never change my mind, no matter what. Any thought, feeling, or image contrary to that pledge is considered Addictive Voice and is to be ignored. That's kind of it in a nutshell. The trick is learning to scan and recognize those thoughts that are AV so they can be ignored. The idea is to see that voice as not YOU, but IT, IT being your addiction talking.
The beauty is in the simplicity.
