Joe McQ and Charlie P, who met in 1973 and share a fascination with AA's Big Book, discuss topics such as the physical craving and allergy of alcoholism, the variations in alcohol metabolism between social drinkers and alcoholics, the significance of sharing personal stories, and the importance of understanding the nature of the illness through Bill's Story.
