What is the difference between "AA sobriety" and sobriety, besides assenting to AA's disease model of addiction?

AA is not about quitting drinking, but the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. One can be forgiven for misunderstanding.

Robby, what you are doing is clearly working for you, but please forgive some of us for seeming a little obtuse given that you yourself say that in order to understand we would have to be in your head and the matter is further complicated by the lexicon.

I keep reading on this thread that Alcoholics Anonymous is not about drinking, that alcoholism and alcoholic illnesses don't have much to do with drinking, etc., ad nauseum. You have to concede that this is at best very confusing. I think it's a gross misuse of language, as evidenced by said confusion.
