heres a bit of the 10th step promises that show how thats misinformation:

And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone - even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame.
that tells me that yes- i will think about drinking at some point.
give me a warm summer day and a lawn mower and i can think of an ice cold budwieser afterwards. i dont act on the thought,though. i can laugh at it because when i buy AN ice cold budwieser theres at least 11 others that come home with it and 1 will make my past become my future.

how i handled the BB thumpers that just quote passages is take a look at why it bothered me. after i learned what in myself was a little sideways, i learned to tune em out.
