Alcohol Abuse Advice

Question by 100% ?Creole?: Are alot of people that are in AA “just alcoholics” because that was BC (before CRACK!)?

Answer by ashj_1218
In all honesty, most people who are in AA are actually recovering mainly from alcohol…because it was their DOC (drug of choice). They probably did some other stuff too, but this is the one they keep heading back to. If they were harder drug users, they would be in NA meetings, which tend to focus more on the cocaine and heroin and other drugs. Either way, an addict is an addict.
