Through the Grace of God and the 12 steps of AA, i am a recovered alcoholic. Yes, we can be recovered. Not cured, recovered. In fact, that is exactly what the Big Book tells us its purpose is in the forward to the first edition.. .to show exactly how the first 100 recovered from a seemingly hopeless state. You do the work, you live the program and you can recover.
Not sure about the program you described, i have no knowledge of it.
