Absolutely 100% impossible to quit drinking unless everyone around you looks over your shoulder and never offers you a drink? What a very low opinion the man has of himself, and apparently all 'alcoholics'. Something doesn't quite jive with taking the time to dismiss 'Step 1' and AA meetings while simultaneously adopting twelve steps of your own, either. Typical shallow but compelling, and not very original.
