- From the book Alcoholics Anonymous: "Most of us feel we need look no further for Utopia. We have it with us right here and now. Each day my friend's simple talk in our kitchen multiplies itself in a widening circle of peace on earth and good will to men."
Addiction treatment WORKS! The Twelve Step Model has been utilized as a treatment for alcohol abuse and alcoholism since 1935.

Anybody know what year this was?
I believe he died in 1950 so right before that
Drink is worse than drugs
It’s all bad
On what basis? I’m confused about why this is relevant to what The good doc is talking about?
Alcohol is actual poison narcotics are not
Abuse of both are symptom of a greater ailment, one that's mental and spiritual. It could just as easily be about gambling, or overeating. There is physical compulsion, which is stronger with some addictions than with others, but this is usually twarfed by a life that ends up revolving around the object of abuse.

Like Dr. Bob explains, the answer is in the Good book. That's why the Oxford Group was where they sobered up and where the steps came from, not from Bill. Read "What is the Oxford Group" and you will see where the steps came from.
Bill did adaptations to the steps and they added up to 12 when he was writing How It Works. He noted 12 Steps, 12 Apostles. They were heavily influenced by the Oxford tenants, yet they were very much created by Bill. Bill noted to Bob that there had to be a guide to the solution to the drinking problem.
