AVRT will necessarily expose the dual implications of ideas which, at first glance, seem innocuous, but which, upon closer inspection, fit the definition of Addictive Voice. It cannot be otherwise. The Addictive Voice —
"any thinking, imagery, or feeling that supports or suggests the possible future use of alcohol or drugs -- ever" — is heard loud and clear in the recovery ecosystem.
Indeed, the Addictive Voice is often amplified and projected from thence, much as a human voice is amplified and projected from a megaphone. The implicit, of not explicit embrace of the cardinal rule of addiction itself —
"never say never to the possible future use of alcohol and other drugs" — is a prime example of this.
