Rational Recovery, was founded in 1986 by Jack and Lois Trimpey and offers an abstinence-based solution for stopping drinking and are the bitter arch-rivals of Alcoholics Anonymous.”

The Rational Recovery (RR) program is based upon the Addictive Voice Recognition Technique� (AVRT), which is a method of identifying with your addiction.It is based on a Structural Model of Addiction and a free crash course in AVRT is demonstrated on the Rational Recovery web site in the form of 28 flash cards. Many people (myself included) have benefited from this approach to quitting drinking.

Don’t be put off by Jack’s intense dislike of Alcoholics Anonymous, I understand completely where he is coming from. When I quit drinking I tried AA and they didn’t like the fact that I believed I was strong enough to beat alcohol on my own. I was ridiculed and was told I would fail and yet here I am over two years later without a relapse.

Jack believes that AA is a cult” he calls it a “radical cult, an evil cult, a widespread cult, and a dangerous cult” and a “cancer on the soul of the nation.” He also claims, “Chemical dependency counseling is a professional guild created by AA in order for its members to practice stepcraft in public institutions and agencies.”

I couldn’t agree more, AA uses brainwashing techniques for the members who question their methods. I experienced this first hand when they attempted to get me to attend 90 meetings in 90 days. They had given up trying to get me to change my beliefs about self empowerment, realized that I didn’t believe I was a Dry drunk (someone who has quit drinking but still has all the problems), that I was condemned to die if I didn’t give in to their system etc.

I saw AA for what it really was and I was having no part of it!

Try Rational Recover before AA you may well find that it is all you need to stop drinking for good. Take me for example, I quit drinking and know I will never start again. Nobody in AA can say that!

Visit Rational Recovery, it may be all you need to stop drinking for good.
