martial arts does not cure alcoholism

You are so right. I tried for years to use my martial art as a recovery program, only to fail time after time. It was not until I got serious about recovery that I was able to really become a martial artists.
I got my black belt a year ago. Last weekend I got the honor of seeing my daughter receiving hers.
Now rather than thinking of the martial arts as a way to stay sober, I see my martial art as a benefit of sobriety.
