A number of recovering alcoholics lie. Many lie. That is why a 12 step program like AA is good. Others who went through the program know what it is like. They can see through the lies. They can see through the lies and say, "You are a liar." Sometimes it takes a confrontation by someone who has been there. The same words do not have the same effect from someone who has not been there even though they are just as true!

The Canyon Club is a US based organization that supports recovering alcoholics. Their mission statement is to "support the recovery and rehabilitation of alcoholics".
Support for recovering alcoholics can be found in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, where individuals can connect with others in similar situations and receive peer support. Additionally, counseling and therapy provided by mental health professionals can also offer guidance and resources for those in recovery. Many communities and organizations offer support groups and resources specifically for individuals recovering from alcohol addiction.
Not necessarily. Worldwide, the most common reason for not drinking alcohol is religion.
RECOVERING alcoholics make the best chemical dependency professionals. Active alcoholics who have not dealt with their own issues are pretty awful.
