TIP: Relapse Anxiety Grid

There is a very simple, but very important chart on page 190 of "Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction" under the heading "Figure 5. The Relapse Anxiety Grid" which is central to AVRT®. In later RR literature, such as in "The Art of AVRT" (page 117), it is called the AVRT Matrix®.

I wish I could reproduce it here, but it is copyrighted material, and appears not to be available in the Google Books preview. In any case, don't just skip over that page; memorize it and burn it into your mind. It is essentially AVRT for toddlers, it won't take you more than a few minutes to get the hang of it, and you can use it whenever the Beast acts up. Since it is a picture, it is also very easy to recall.
