Chuck never really did always thinking that he could handle it himself.

AA does seem to be a very successful approach to the problem of alcoholism. The lawyers and politicians went balls up with their solutions in the Prohibition movement. Of course, many of the lawyers and politicians involved also got rich finding and taking advantage of loopholes in liquor laws.
