AA simply shares experience, strength and hope of those who have benefited. The Big Book states that “some day” science and medicine may find a way to make problem drinkers change to normal drinkers.
What nobody is saying here is that alcoholics DO NOT WANT to drink normally. They all wish they could, but that’s only because they know that they’ve hurt people including themselves. “If only I could drink like everybody else, my life would not be so screwed up” .....
Eventually whatever treatment the alcoholic gets to help him drink normally, will stop working or stop being used. The only solution is to help alcoholics rid themselves of the desire to drink.
