OK. But you are never "cured" from alcoholism. You are never straightened out physically. I can see how working the steps has potential to treat the "mental obsession" with drinking. But the physical allergy never goes away.
"Cured"... No.

However, it does say "we have recovered from a hopeless condition of mind and body." Plus there is a chapter devoted to "There is a solution".

As far as the "allergy" goes, I will always have the organs of an alcoholic. But who cares:

" We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others."
