If you're an alcoholic, I like to say this regarding tradition three. We have a qualifier and no disqualifiers. If you're an alcoholic, we don't care what other problems you have. But if you're not an alcoholic, we need to get you to a place where you can identify that you'll feel hopeless enough to do the steps.
