They do suggest that. However, I quit cold turkey 6 years ago today (thus the reply). I was a serious alcholic and a total mess. Since I don't drink any more, I don't consider myself an alocoholic. However, I don't believe for one second that I can drink normally ever again, so I choose not to.

...but I would respectfully suggest that they should accept the fact that plenty of heavy drinkers, and even some genuine alcoholics, can and have quit drinking without that program, or any particular program.

Right on! I was a fan of RR for awhile (Rational Recovery), but they're charging for stuff now, so I just rely on the greatest sponser of all, myself. Selfish? Yes. But who else can keep me from drinking? No one but myself...
