"Question two implies that the ability to abstain from, or control one’s drinking of alcohol is primarily dependent upon the organization, i.e. AA, or the program of Moderation Management. After attending several meetings of each neither seems to work for the alcohol abuser, what options does one then have?
The efficacy of a treatment idea and how it will work for an individual is solely dependent on that individual’s commitment to sobriety and improving the quality of their life by not being dependent on a psychoactive drug.
