I agree about the stories & the importance of the first 164 pages of the Big Book. I, however, also have sponsees work out of Hazelden workbooks. I disagree with your contention that, "...directions can
only be found in "A.A.", the book."

Hence, and even if some of them might actually be real alcoholics, very few ever share any real solution since they have yet to even find or accept one for themselves.

Pet peeve here...In Michigan there are so many people at meetings who are there with a "nudge from the judge." Once they're off probation you never see many of them again. There are a lot of people who have to rack up a lot of D.U.I.'s before getting even a hint that they might have a problem.
