The interesting thing about the articles was that they described how I felt, how life was for me, how I struggled with alcohol and powerlessness in a way I could understand. It is kinda like that first time with Bill and Bob where Bob thought "at last, someone who understands!"

It just shows that, in all that time, alcoholism has not changed, and the alcoholic hasn't changed either.

Medical science is always moving, today's theory is always the thing, yesterdays theory already discounted. You only have to look at the trail of failed medical solutions, and you will still look in vain for a complete medical solution for alcoholism as I experienced it. Our leading expert on the subject told me exactly that just recently.
