In Response To: Why he drinks? (Adelene Yeo)

>>He has tried treatment and AA, but that did not seem to work very well.<<

it only "works" if you want it to. the only requirement for membership (to AA) is "a desire to stop drinking"

RX: don't drink today, go to an AA meeting. repeat as long as necessary.
