Really appreciating your post today, thank you. I have only come to terms with my husband's substance abuse issues in the last 3 months and dove straight into 12-step Al Anon as that was the only resource I was familiar with -- and he wound up going to some AA meetings too....
But he's also said that it doesn't quite resonate with him. Based on what you shared here, I think AVRT may be interesting to my husband -- so I'll definitely be learning more about it. Thanks so much for your detailed sharing. I can really follow your train of thought and see what you're talking about.
I also see that the original post here is almost a year old...any updates you can give us about how you're doing? Would love to hear. :-)
