AVRT, of course, is not an alternative to 12-Step recovery per se. Rather, it is an alternative to addiction, and it does not discriminate very much between secular and religious approaches. Its target is the Addictive Voice -- that comprehensive style of thinking that sustains addiction -- regardless of its source.
This is very true! I would hate to think that there are people who dismiss AVRT because they think that it's exclusively secular, when in fact the opposite is true. It's the most inclusive way out there, doesn't ask you to change anything about yourself except what you are trying to change, your addiction, whatever it may be.
