If you represent the solution to alcoholism, we are all doomed. ROFL...I'm sure you're a nice kid, though.
My belief lies somewhere in the middle. Science only really has any value to the alcoholic (to this point anyway) during detox and say, the first few months of sobriety. After that, it's up to the individual-the same individual who likely quit drinking hundreds of times before. If you believe in science then you must believe in the genetic component of alcoholism- that the alcoholics brain was abnormal before the drink, during the drink, and after the drink. Until science cures the way the alcoholic's brain handles dopamine, we are left to rely on each other, which is what "god" is in AA. God is everything that isn't you. Science can be God. Anyways, thanks for reminding me where my denial could take me if I drink again.
