I didn't use AVRT per se, but for me to quit completely I needed a mechanism as strong if not stronger than a moral issue. I basically turned drinking into a maturity issue and a gag reflex. I don't want to get into the specifics of what I made myself believe that alcohol tastes like, but the maturity side seemed to really top it off. I made myself believe that I am old enough mentally to know that drinking for me is no longer an option. I'm not a 21 year old knucklehead with nothing to lose. I realized the obsessive voice was just the dumb immature kid I used to be. That coupled with the physical gag reflex that would occur anytime I thought about drinking or even saw other people drinking was enough to get me through the first month or so, and since then it, (the voice) has completely disappeared.
Good thread AVRT!
