I just discovered Dr. Bock via Dr. Malone and I am delighted to have done so. However, with all of this study about addiction, I don’t see any references to AA or even NA which have gotten millions of suffering addicts and alcoholics sober.

Thanks to AA I just celebrated a quarter of a century of sobriety. 25 years before that I was a highly functioning alcoholic who consumed nearly a gallon of booze on a daily basis- mostly vodka, wine and beer.

I have 7 grandchildren who have never seen me drunk or drugged; I have made peace with my family who put up with so much and I have a life beyond my wildest dreams as promised.

AA is indeed the “easier, softer way.”
