PO Box 1980

I would like to join the throng (I am sure there are many of us) in replying to F. L. in the October issue. You say, "If we treated our alcoholism not as a symptom of something else but as a terribly destructive entity in itself . . . we just might make it, one day at a time." But the Big Book tells us (page 64), "Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions."
