I think Dr.Jung spoke of alcoholism as a "spiritual search for wholeness" which sums it pretty well. I spent the better part of my life trying to fill that hole with everything I could find on the outside. Once I found surrender and began to try and live the steps I discovered what I needed was inside all along. Also, if you look in the Mar. 1971 Grapevine you will find a letter written by Bill W. about alcoholics and addicts in AA. See pages 40-42, "The Legacy of RECOVERY". Very well written and enlightening.
