Find it in the literature and show me where they say, "you will no longer be an addict if you work the steps." In fact, they say the exact opposite. There is no cure. You will always be an addict. It is absolutely a disease. A life threatening disease, with no cure. Hence the phrase "one day at a time."
Allready in the Big Book of AA, it is claimed that the old myth "once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic" will be shattered by the book.
Besides; what negative consequences of drinking could you get if you don't drink?

Why do you assume that? I haven't taken a controlled substance in many years.
