Like any other narcotic, alcohol does not lie, it’s nature is well known. It’s a lie to demonize alcohol, when the demon is the addict, and what inside the addict’s psyche and in the spirit drives the addict to be an addict. Rolli is yet another example of the futility of trying to help a homeless person change, who is an active addict. I lived on the street in Key West and on Maui. My observation was 90 or more percent of the adult street people were active addicts. I was serious when many times I told the Key West City Commission that only God can change a street person. AA and NA have preached for a very long time that addicts are insane, there is nothing they can do to fix that on their own, and if God doesn’t take them over and fix it, they are gonners – that’s a ;=poetic summary of the first 3 of the 12 Steps. I don’t see in Susan Mitchell’s article that Rolli understands any of that.
