Alcoholics Anonymous, The Doctor's Opinion
"The Little Doctor Who Loved Drunks"
A letter from Dr. Silkworth to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939
Dr. Silkworth defines alcoholism -
"Of course an alcoholic ought to be freed from his physical craving
for liquor" - Big book XXVII
"We believe, and so suggested a few years ago, that the action of alcohol on these chronic alcoholics is a manifestation of an allergy; that the phenomenon of craving is limited to this class and never occurs in the average temperate drinker." - Big book XXVIII
(NEVER means not one time!)

It’s funny. We start to get things back and end up trailing back to step one. Rinse and repeat and we have a new way of living! Thank you AA
