Good for you, Dee! I heartily concur in your saying that it was not necessary for you to define alcoholism in order to fight it. Rather than waste time arguing about it and getting all upset and personal, wouldn't it be better to talk about what to do about alcoholism? AA works for some folks. Other folks find other ways to do it. I found that having some group support was very helpful. But some folks get sober without that. All that's fine with me. If it works then that's just fine. I didn't get sober by digging back into the history of AA and arguing about it. If I had then I think that this would probably have diverted me from my main goal, which was to stop drinking-- for good.
