AVRT-based recovery is abrupt, quite different from the never ending process of one-day-at-a-time sobriety. You are free to declare yourself fully recovered right now, but your Beast is pulling hard to reserve your Option to drink/use at some unforeseen time later on.
You have already experienced some of the main aspects of AVRT, enough for you to declare yourself fully recovered whenever you like. Of course, it will necessarily be now, whenever that time comes.
The problem is, other moments never come to us; we exist only in the eternal moment of now. In addiction, your Beast owns the moment. AVRT allows you to rebel against your Beast and defeat it in the explosive moment of your Big Plan. Then, you own the moment for good.
