I appreciate you point of view although we don't see eye to eye on everything you have said.
Yes, the Big Book was written by a couple of drunks. The book lays out a program of principles which when applied do work to resolve alcoholism for many people. Is is laid out in stone? No, even the authors acknowledge this. In the chapter "A Vision For You" you will find this passage

Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We realize we know only a little..........

The authors simply wrote down what worked for them and many others. One can choose to take or leave their suggestions. If you don't believe that the program will work for you then please find one that does. Personally it works for me. Because it does I choose to delve deeper into the book to gain a better understanding of the concepts presented. Being informed rather than misinformed is IMHO a good way to live.
