On the other hand, with its relentless, unyielding insistence on the natural, innate ability of addicted people to self-correct and end their addictions, without the
ongoing support of others, AVRT provides the most important type of support there is: moral support.
If others say that you can't ever go it alone, AVRT says,
yes you can!
If others say that you will be struggling against your addiction for ever and ever unless you constantly work on it, AVRT says,
no you wont!
AVRT provides hope for a return to your original self, and to life as it was prior to your addiction. RR never had too many mottoes, but one of the big ones was
"believe in people, not programs!"
