It's the human condition, not necessarily untreated alcoholism ...

"If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer." (44:1)
 "Doubtless you are curious to discover how and why, in the face of expert opinion to the contrary, we have recovered from a hopeless condition of mind and body." (20:1, 'Alcoholics Anonymous')

Alcoholism: when I start, I cannot stop. That's the physical bit. When I stop, I inevitably start again. That's the mental bit. Hopeless condition of mind and body. Not of spirit.

"… for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick. When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically." (64:3)
 "Continue to speak of alcoholism as an illness, a fatal malady. Talk about the conditions of body and mind which accompany it." (92:2)

The spiritual malady—manifesting as restlessness, irritability and discontentment, or the page 52 'bedevilments', amongst other examples in the Book—are essentially human problems, as page 52 highlights. Only a fraction of those in the world suffering from the sense of uselessness, from the fear and anxiety, from the sense of futility described are alcoholics.

The only connection between the spiritual malady and the 'conditions of body and mind which accompany it' is the fact that alcohol treated that spiritual malady, and, because of the mental blank spot that prevents dreadful experiences from prevailing in the decision-making process, we are doomed to continue drinking even when its usefulness as a solution is massively outweighed by the terrible consequences.

I can recover from alcoholism. Totally. No more drinking. No more thought of drinking. A spiritual defence when I need it, whatever is going on in my mind.

Sometimes, human problems and emotions are described as 'untreated alcoholism'. I do not think they are.

Untreated alcoholism manifests as drinking periodically because I do not have the Step Three decision—to stay close to God and perform his work well—as the basis for my life. Essentially, if I am not turning to God for the solution, I will involuntarily turn to drink, sooner or later.

Alcoholics without God as the centre of their lives can drink on the barest of problems and emotional difficulties. Alcoholics with God as the centre of their lives can stay sober with the most gargantuan of problems and with crippling emotional handicaps that take months or years to sort out.

The point is this: if I am on the path to establishing and deepening a relationship with God, I will be OK.

My human condition does not need to be treated. It needs to be experienced and loved and learned from. If God is the solution to the problems and the emotional difficulties that my human condition throws up, I need not drink. If I do not turn to God as the solution—however far along the path of evolution as a human I travel—I will indeed drink.

In other words: if I am living in all three sides of the triangle, I can relax. The difficulties I have in processing my experiences are lessons in my growth towards God, not drinks waiting to happen or a sickness waiting to be cured, provided I keep the main thing the main thing: love and service, with God at the helm.
