No, no – there is no why! – Master Yoda.
There are many so-called great men that are alcoholic. It is just the way it is. If you are an alcoholic you have a disease (so says the AMA). Why is a diabetic a diabetic? I don’t know, perhaps one day figuring it out might mean something, but for now, insulin and diet is the solution.
There are those that let the “why” question stand in the way of their recovery. Don’t fall for that one. We have a saying around here that is apropos: let’s not worry about how the horse got stuck in the mud, let’s just get it out.
Actually I believe it is great to explore but not at the expense of foregoing treatment – especially when AA is such a wonderful program.
What is a veteran AA person?
