Welcome. That is a very good attitude, Thrifty, and I have full faith in your capacity to indeed beat this thing once and for all. As you read through the materials, though, you'll learn that AVRT is not about trying to quit, but rather about actually quitting. I sent you some links via PM, but you'll still want to read
"Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction" for a more comprehensive overview of AVRT. I look forward to your input.
The Big Plan:A personal commitment to lifetime abstinence from alcohol and other hedonic drugs, starting right now. Without a Big Plan, there is no AVRT. The Big Plan goes like this, "I will never drink/use again."
