QuoteResearch has produced evidence for decades that some alcoholics could return to moderate or controlled drinking. However, Alcoholics Anonymous and other influential and powerful groups have tended to define an alcoholic as a person who can never drink in moderation. Thus, their conceptions and definitions have caused them to reject this mounting evidence. For example, they tend to argue that if researchers identify alcoholics who can now drink in moderation, that simply means that the alcoholics were falsely diagnosed and really weren't alcoholics or they wouldn't have been able to drink in moderation.

Quote from: "RDL"I had a problem with alcohol between 2009 and 2013, but there have been 9 instances within the last 15 months in which I drank, and in each instance it was just one drink. I don't think I'm an alcoholic anymore.
