Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, 4th Edition.
Chapter 5
How It Works

Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions.
I love the AA Big Book

I realize this app is not Alcoholics Anonymous but I just want to emphasize that putting the bottle or the drug down is merely a beginning. We have to get into a proven solution or we are sure to relapse.
