Kudos

My small Kindle book resonated with another drinker:
This the best article I have ever read on dealing with alcohol problems. It makes absolute sense to me. If I jump I fall. Thanks for writing it. I'll let you know how it goes. 
I wish him well.

My argument is that for some, drinking is like gravity. But you are NOT powerless. You either climb up to the roof and jump, and break your leg, or you don't. Your choice. Period. You are not powerless. You don't have to jump. So AA puts the wrong spin on everything. AA is anti-intellectual and anti-existential, and that was my problem with these good folks. They're really a Christian fellowship but won't admit it.
