Ask Mr. Peele has he ever been in active addiction, or has experience withdrawals.

Not quite sure what you're saying here? I guess the intent is to say that no one except someone who has been or is an addict will have enough knowledge to help someone else?

Sorry but I don't buy that. Most oncologists haven't had cancer themselves but are certainly qualified to help people who are. Most psych docs aren't crazy but routinely work with folks with mental problems and more.

If by "The Basic Text" you're referring to The Big Book, remember it was written in the late 1930's. We've discovered a few things since then.
