Doubtless you are curious to discover how and why, in the face of expert opinion to the contrary, we have recovered from a hopeless condition of mind and body. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition (Kindle Locations 541-542).

How could it have happened?
A hopeless drunk, recently homeless,

are actually diseases. Hopeless, yet curable.
And the cure comes encased in Twelve simple steps.
No human can cure these two, but…
There Is a Solution wrapped in a Power Greater than we are.
