'real alcohoic'
As the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous' is primarily directed at those termed as 'real alcoholics', as first referred to in the opening line of Chapter 3 (4th Ed) which is entirely devoted to alcoholics of their kind. You'll excuse me for saying that's a bit like stating the obvious, isn't it? Given that I myself fall into the category of being, like many others, a 'real alcoholic', which is why I posted the thread in the first place...
That said, I look forward to your constructive comments or criticism, taking it into account, on the whole content of my thread and the questions raised in it....
