Where did I say WSO breaking the traditions is cool. Maybe you should study
english again, I said  'If the traditions weren't there NA might not be

That makes a shit load of sense. Because my drinking never brought me to my
knees I am therefor focusing on the drug. Your logic is floorless. Maybe I
just never drank as regularly as I took drugs, did you consider that.
