2. There is no such thing as a "typical alcoholic"

The only thing we have in common is that once we take one drink we can no longer quarantee our sobriety.

If you can "see no reason for recovery" then don't recover. When you do see a reason for recovery then recover.

I will say this, though. I really like Spam. I eat it quite frequently and usually when I open a can of Spam I eat the whole can. I see no reason to quit eating Spam, and I see no reason to quit eating it a whole can at a time.

But I'm not writing to addiction groups to explain that I don't need to quit eating Spam.

And you are writing to an addiction group to explain that you don't need to stop drinking. Why are you doing that?
