Dr. Drew you are wrong. Twenty years ago I stopped drinking on my own. I do not buy that crap that I am helpless in the face of my drunkeness. I am the cause of my drunkeness and no "higher power" was going to knock the drink from my hand. AA works in some cases because it substitutes one addiction for another. The addiction of the group, the meetings, the cachet of being a sainted former drunk.
