Someone might be stuck in their own alcoholic despair and others members share their approach. Hopefully, something will click and make sense and that person will be able to get "unstuck" and move forward.
It is a bit like someone being stuck in a pit and crying for help: Tomsteve, Freshstart, Opivotal and I can come and throw them our ladders.
Hopefully, that person will have confidence that one ladder is strong and sturdy and use it to get out of the hole.
The ultimate goal is to make it to the surface so the more ladders, the better...the person still has to take action, grab a ladder and climb out though.
