AVRT is incompatible with moderation, and many aspects of REBT as well. You simply will not be able to hear your Addictive Voice while actively drinking, and if you are not careful, REBT can also play right into your AV. I can send you a link on how REBT interacts with AVRT. As for failure, you did not fail. You simply drank against your own better judgment, which means that you are still ambivalent about quitting, or didn't recognize your AV. If you were not ambivalent about quitting, though, you would not be waiting for motivation to come back, no?
