no it's not logical. i've worked in medicine for 26 years. (see profile). I've had an addiction to cigarettes in the past too I try to treat the booze the same way. it's not a spiritual thing for me. I smoked too much, I drank too much. I've quit both and feel better.
Alcohol can definitley drag me into depression and i drank through a lot of unhappy times. in finding people here I've learned a lot, but i never went for the group concept with anything.
i have benefited from personal therapy, but i can't accept the whole AA concept.
