Thanks for your kind words BoneHead.
I believe that a) the majority of people who need AA never go to a meeting and b) the majority of people who do make it to a meeting and even get sober for a bit don't die sober.
That's a grim but honest look at addiction. That's why I've always been skeptical of "wars on drugs" that don't deal with the end point, the user. It's simple econ. Demand will get supplied and the market will set the price.
Thanks again BH!
