A) To learn how to manage alcohol use
B) To provide support for a lifelong addiction

D) To prevent relapse from occurring
B
Feedback:
Alcoholism is a lifelong addiction that must be managed on an hourly/daily/weekly basis because the client is powerless over alcohol. AA emphasizes personal accountability while providing support from those who have walked in the same shoes as the client. Relapse is a common setback among recovering individuals, and AA provides encouragement to work the program of success that is alcohol and drug free.
