I guess they make things up to fill-in-the-blanks. I think they also have a warped sense of reality brought on my ingesting so much booze. This would be a good question to ask on the AA board. Honestly, I think an alcoholic is the only person who can give you a real perspective on why the behave as they do. And from what I've been told by several A's is even they don't know why they do what they do at times!
