What does AV stand for??

I keep seeing it in threads around here, but can't figure it out. I mean, I'm guessing Alcohol V.... but I can't think of what the V would be.

Addictive Voice.

That voice in your head that tells you to keep using the substance you're addicted to even though you know you should quit.

Addictive Voice.

Its one of the hallmarks of Rational Recovery and its Addictive Voice Recognition Technique - although it seems to have assumed widespread and general usage round here

I recommend you visit the Secular Connections forum if you think you may benefit from a non 12 step approach like AVRT

I was wondering the same thing, but then saw a post where someone said "Alcoholic Voice" so believe that is what it stands for. Basically, it is that nagging little demon that sits in our head and gives us the cravings to drink. When we try to fight it the little s$@! Throw a temper tantrum until we give in, or beat it over the head
