You and I sort of see this similarly... I feel it is of a person's essence. I wasn't born alcoholic, but I was born curious. LOL
However...
There was a reflex pathway that took hold... Bored? Drink or other stuff... Frustrated? Ditto... all that. You know, restless, irritable, discontent. It's real.
So learning another way to deal with that...
Also, people get to recovery with a WHOLE lot of wreckage, and RESENTMENT... seems AA is one good way to deal with that.
IDK, I think for some, just unplugging from the urge and the AV is enough, for others... (you know, REAL alcoholics.... LOLOLOLOL
) that may not be, enough.
