I don't see anything wrong with it. Whatever gets us to the promised land of sobriety .

I have been doing alot of research and both make sense, I want and need a HP....Plus I like the idea of the steps....but AVRT has some good points as well!

I can't imagine that anyone in AA would have anything against AVRT, and if they do, that's their problem. I say go for it. AA probably has a similar thing. They just don't codify it with an acronym. It's pretty basic stuff and I think most of us do it when we're questioning our thought processes, if we have the clarity of mind to do that.

I know people who've used both to good effect - hopefully they'll drop by Lola

I bought the Rational Recovery book which is AVRT, I also Like Women in Sobriety, I am picking one principle a day to focus on and then journal at night. I think it is just important to have a plan. Tomorrow I have my second d meeting with a counselor. The first time was just an initial consult, not sure what to expect, but I am definitely in better emotional and physical shape then I was when I made that appointment 12 days ago!

I like both of those things.
And meditation.
And tarot cards.
And Buddhism.
And nature.
And cooking.
And exercise.
And diet..
Living with complete honesty and vulnerability..

All things I think help me stay sober.
Whatever works, right?
