What makes you think that people in AA don’t have ‘contact with alcohol’?
You really never gave AA a chance. I don’t care one or the other. Good for you that you aren’t drinking. We have no corner on the market.
Just wanted to set the record straight. For example a friend of mine is in a band that will be playing at a local watering hole this weekend. me and some of my friends will be there dancing and drinking (iced tea -— not LI—and sodas) and having a grand old time. Nothing prevents me from doing this. There will be drinking and drunks and other folks there. that is part of life.
In today’s society you would have to go live on a mountain like a hermit to avoid contact with alcohol.
Almost every gas station, grocery store, restaruant, and most hotel rooms have booze.
