It's all good Aleric! I agree with you, I want newcomers to feel welcome here too. This sub-forum is the gem of SR in my opinion and I wish it got more traffic because this is where people can learn to quit their habit once and for all and then get to move on in their lives and get out of recovery. I also agree that the concept of forever can be too much for many people, their AV's simply won't allow it to be considered so they dismiss AVRT. I get it, my Beast is still sulking over my decision haha, as I admitted the other day. Too bad, so sad for IT. Another advantage of AVRT is that I find it encourages my intellect, I like learning more about the technique, I find it really interesting. I love talking about ideas. I've tried talking about RR with my friends but they don't really get it and a lot of them have AV's of their own so they treat it with suspicion. I'm glad this place exists so we can have these discussions.
