The experiential acceptance coping condition will focus on changing one's relationship to one's internal events by learning to remain in contact with negative and positive thoughts and feelings and cravings as they are, without defense or judgment or attempting to cling to them (Eifert \& Forsyth, 2005; Hayes, Strosahl, \& Wilson, 1999; Kadden et al., 1992; Levitt, Brown, Orsillo, \& Barlow, 2004).

Cognitive restructuringbehavioral

The cognitive restructuring coping condition will focus on how to change the content and frequency of internal events by changing one's thinking patterns (Kadden et al., 1992).

No-intervention control: Nutrition informationother

The no-intervention condition will be taught the plate method, a nutritional servings guideline, which will have no content related to AUD or PTSD, in order to control for time and contact with a research assistant.
