Counsellor

Counsellor 
   
  He was an independent therapist
  for people who thought they were drinking too much.
 His first question was: why do you drink so copious?
The answers were varied; he asked them to address
 their problems, and desist from alcohol for six months,
 Sometimes it did the trick.
 Those who could not see he sent to A.A.
 He had experience from working at a private clinic 
 where the religious aspect played a vital role.
The expert rejected his system, lost his licence 
 to practise his amateurish an uneducated views.
 He has met people who thanked him for finding 
 they were not alcoholics and by those he had
directed to A. A.
