For me, once I saw the Beast and it’s mouthpiece the AV for what it was, I couldn’t unsee it. Therefore, after making my BP, and practising AVRT, albeit very rarely now due to the extinction curve; even if AV was frequent, it’s irrelevant and the B/AV are powerless, whereas I’m not.
Therefore, I couldn’t become, or be at risk of, becoming addicted again. My prior addiction is over and I wholeheartedly believe I’m in fact, unable to become addicted again. Because I’ve awakened to the ruse of the alcohol beast and consequently that neuronal loop/my habituated behaviour: is history.
