Beautifully put and I agree completely. At the end of the day, who cares who and what causes an alcoholic to stop? The point is that they've found something that helps them stop and
the support they need to stay stopped. I don't think "logic" really has a lot of place in addictive thinking. If it did, I don't think we'd have much of a problem with addiction, frankly. The human mind and emotional system is nuanced, therefore recovery must be too.
