I don't want to keep getting off topic, but I must ask
with all due respect MM
"recommended" by whom? AA? Some medical studies?
Such studies are very limited in target population and other data
which are controlled and cannot be generalized to the whole population.
That's only a few sources among many.
I recognize awareness is important, but it
is unreasonable to assume that what AA says is for everyone. It isn't.
I think we have been made the point that everyone has a different approach,
and no one approach is better than another.
A recommendation such as your a speaking about cannot also be
generalized to all alcoholics.
May all the tribe practice their
individual approaches to sobriety in peaceful co-existant harmony
