I have a question for those of you who had success with AVRT. Did you apply the same to other behaviors than strictly the substance use, or main behavioral addiction? Things that are not necessarily so problematic on their own, but perhaps became intertwined with the main and most troublesome addiction? For example, if the main issue was drinking but it developed and was reinforced by strong associated choices/behaviors that also became powerful cues for the AV to come out. For example environments where the substance use often occurred, people or things it was often associated with. If you have experiences like that, did you just focus on the main problem (i.e. drinking) with AVRT or targeted and completely eliminated the associated other things as well? I even wonder if my speculating about this is just thoughts and feelings from my AV on their own, and I'm unnecessarily complicating it again.
