I really take issue with this characterization. Please have some respect and humility: addiction is a serious matter, and this characterization of addicts as weak-willed and immoral is inaccurate and misleading for anyone out there who is seeking a way out.

Modern medicine treats alcohol abuse and addiction as similar to other chemical dependencies.

I don't know what to tell you. Your callous dismissal of the seriousness of alcohol dependency is an ideological position, not one based on reason or science.


Excuse me, but I offer a rational alternative to the religion of Alcoholics Anonymous. Would you say AA is the bastion of reason and science?


No, you didn't. First you insulted, then you corrected someone, now you're trying to raise a flamewar smokescreen. Please just stop.


Please stop doing flamewar on Hacker News.
