I have found people who recover from alcoholism who don't go to AA (which is the majority of alcoholics) .

Just curious ( and I am not trying to stir anything up) Where do you get these facts???? I am always saying that AA is not the only game in town but I would like to know where the majority recover and how their population is quantified????
alcohology is the scientific theorized, or study of the hydroxyl compound Alcohol, in partial, or as a whole.
I don't believe we do that at all.

Whereas a people in AA tend to obsssess over it

Not if they work the steps. My Big Book tells me I will:
Quote:
seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We
react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any
thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had
been places in a position of neutrality—safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us.
We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.

That is what My Big Book says will happen before I am even done the steps. I don't obsess, I can go to bars, parties. Part of my job in the Navy as a First Year Chief is to stock the Chief's Barroom once a month. Booze is no problem in my life that I obsess over.

reading the big book and long term sobriety makes them an expert on alcoholism.

We simply have a way that works for us.
Don't confuse the Gurus with the recovered. There are more of us than there are them. We even sit in the back row at the meetings.
