Not even close to true. Not only is alcoholism a genetic trait, but AA absolutely does address why you drink, and works towards filling that void with positive outlets. It is a demonstrated fact that trying to do it by yourself is a losing venture. That is the biggest benefit of AA: community.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
