"pretty worthless to others" was what I actually posted.
As far as the 'no matter what' - if that was an option for an alcoholic (AA's definition of an alcoholic), I am sure it would have popped up SOMEWHERE in the literature. I still can't find where that advice comes from....but there it is. I was at an open meeting that I had never been to the other night, and someone said it. It baffles me every time. If I could just not drink no matter what- what is my problem? Certainly isn't alcohol - because being able to not drink no matter what implies that I have power over alcohol.
Thankfully, I was given a very clear message.
