The common denominator for us all is not drinking, the means of how we got there though differs immensely, so Sobriety in my mind definitely does not have a black/white solution, what works for me or you, may not work for someone else, we all have to find our own unique path to longterm Sobriety, all started though in the black/white action of simply not drinking!!
I'm not sure on the angle of the discussion, but following on from the thread on personal experience, there can be authenticity in what we speak of from personal experience, but say as a non AA goer if someone asked me about the ins and outs of something specific then my advice is going to be pretty shallow/weak as it's not apart of my Sobriety, however ask me about dealing with stress at work, living on my own or how to use SR as effectively as possible then that's gonna be pretty authentic advice!!
