Hmmm.... I suppose it's not splashed on the first page of alanon literature because our program is about us... not the alcoholic. But I know what you mean. I ran off to read about THIQ after you posted. I'd never heard of it. I found an article by some guy who's been researching it at Harvard. His theory about why some doctors are still non-comittal about alcoholism as disease? That those doctors like to drink.

That's a link to the article... for the curious.
