I agree,tho. going to meetings and not drinking don't treat alcoholism.
I think the bb says something about we cant transmit something we don't have.
So well said tomsteve. "Don't drink, put the plug in the jug, and go to meetings" doesn't treat the problem of alcoholism (and some of us learned that the hard way when we felt worse instead of better). It only treats the problem if the problem is alcohol. If your life is better when you put the plug in the jug and go to meetings, then your problem ain't alcoholism; it's alcohol.
