If left to pure, unadulterated science, I never would have recovered. Science has virtually nothing to offer me in terms of getting sober, and plays no part in my remaining sober.

voice nothing other then our own thoughts and wants? Why does it have to be some separate entity that we didn't create? The enabler is always dragged
into the situation. There is no enabler because you have total control over your own drinking. Every alcoholic can find a so-called enabler by the
definition created for it. Your employer is an enabler. All we have to do is stop drinking. Does bringing in all these made up tools really help people get sober? Shouldn't we keep things factual and simple?
