I was just relating how I understand it. Telling someone to go out and drink some more is not where this topic comes from. It comes from the book (where AA took it's name!) that states one should try some controlled drinking if they are having trouble relating to the topic (allergy/craving).
What those old-timers said is on them...I thought I was done drinking many many many many many times - but went back and did some more. Regardless of someone telling me to or not.
I had to stop pointing fingers and blaming others to even stand a chance of recovering from alcoholism.
