Abuse of both are symptom of a greater ailment, one that's mental and spiritual. It could just as easily be about gambling, or overeating. There is physical compulsion, which is stronger with some addictions than with others, but this is usually twarfed by a life that ends up revolving around the object of abuse.
Like Dr. Bob explains, the answer is in the Good book. That's why the Oxford Group was where they sobered up and where the steps came from, not from Bill. Read "What is the Oxford Group" and you will see where the steps came from.
Bill did adaptations to the steps and they added up to 12 when he was writing How It Works. He noted 12 Steps, 12 Apostles. They were heavily influenced by the Oxford tenants, yet they were very much created by Bill. Bill noted to Bob that there had to be a guide to the solution to the drinking problem.

Drink is worse than drugs
It’s all bad
On what basis? I’m confused about why this is relevant to what The good doc is talking about?
