good question
 

Recovery is certainly not a cure. Cure for diseases has no money in it.

Treatment,groups,therapy, in/out patient. That is where the money is at

No profit to actually find a cure for diseases anymore.



Just my personal opinion

Pretty simple really. If you don't drink, you won't get drunk. While I understand a lot of us have a lot of issues (myself included), I can "issue" my way into staying drunk, when really it is a simple as not picking up the first anything and finding something else that is truly satisfying and not a temporary fix.

Addiction is probably the most enigmatic subject matter in the history of mankind and probably will be for at least a couple thousand more years.

Yeah....... no money in it, and oh yeah, no cure for it either... I don't think there is an addiction vaccine sitting in some lab not being released so we all go to treatment facilities... To me, recovery is much better than a cure. It enables me to try and become a better person daily. I find it to be a large positive with my alcoholism. Sure, I suffered in a way that a non alcoholic could never know, but in looking for a solution I learned to live life in a way that my non drinking counterparts have not. For me, recovery is the solution.

Best of luck to you!

I discovered the same thing. While looking for an "End Of Drinking" solution, I found an "End Of Suffering" solution.

When I am spiritually fit, nothing, absolutely nothing, can disturb me enough to make me feel that I am suffering.

The Buddha figured this out about 2,500 years ago. He called it the 3rd Noble Truth.
