I've been to a few AA meetings and they are constantly talking about "real alcoholic" and they read the doctor's opinion as if Jesus wrote it. Constant talk about "craving" and "allergy". Very diehard committed to these beliefs. I sometimes get drunk, black out, lose my car, etc but never had a physical craving and did most of drunks while very youg. Not sure I can honestly relate to AA definition of alcoholic and not sure I can be in meetings if I can't relate to what is said.
