Grateful to Be an Alcoholic? Not Me

How many times have you heard in AA meetings, "I'm so and so and I'm grateful to be an alcoholic," or heard people talk about how great it is that they are alcoholics, so they could come into our Fellowship and have all the wonderful gifts it brings? I understand. It is wonderful to be sober and in AA, and to benefit from all the wonderful relationships, fellowship, and spiritual progress. But doesn't that mean that they're grateful for AA rather than for being alcoholics?
