Congratulations! You have earned
The PhD in Rational Recovery.
You are entitled to declare yourself completely recovered from alcohol and/or drug addiction. Of course, something deep down inside of you sneers at such an idea, but now you know what that something is. Therefore, I invite you to reclaim your life from addiction and defy the recovery mentality that keeps millions hostage to perpetual self-doubt. If you are not going to drink/use any more, then you are recovered as I am, provided you are willing to believe in yourself.
If you feel good right now, trust your feelings! They are not a pink cloud, denial, or a honeymoon. They are the authentic you, with new hope for your future. I have named these good feelings the abstinence commitment effect (ACE). You have aced the Crash Course! Enjoy!
AVRT is a simple logic engine that kills addictions. It is based on the experience of formerly addicted people, and devised by a former drunk, yours truly. It is not a product or spinoff of any school of philosophy or psychology, although it dovetails with any of them.
AVRT is unscientific in the sense that it doesn't take a doctor or therapist to explain it. In fact, they can't explain it very well unless they also have a PhD from Rational Recovery, as below:
