A Doctor's Opinion

A Doctor's Opinion

The Doctor’s Opinion gives us one of the clearest explanations of alcoholism in the Big Book: the physical allergy, the mental obsession, and why an alcoholic can sincerely want to stop and still find themselves drinking again.

Today we’re talking about what Dr. Silkworth was trying to explain, why alcoholism is more than bad choices or weak willpower, and how understanding the problem can help us understand why a spiritual solution becomes necessary.

Sometimes the first real relief comes from finally understanding that the problem is bigger than simply saying, “I just won’t drink.”
