But viewing the desire as originating from my addiction, not me, and thereby detaching from it, was incredibly helpful to me before I had heard about AVRT and the Big Plan.
I agree R&A...it was for me too. The first time I quit I did so for 10 years, in this way. What was missing for me was truly identifying the AV. I did not understand the subtleties of the AV and because of that, I wasn't able at one point to maintain the seperation. It became I, and I became It...very quickly I might add.
Now, having just stressed the simplicity of AVRT in the previous post, I'm also going to say that I think it's a mistake to oversimplify the complexities of the AV. Reading RR has really allowed me to hone in on AV in myself and in others. Identify/seperate/dismiss. Obviously, w/o identifying, the rest is moot.
