I believe it can be associated like real life , like life in many ways , the roads we take , the obstacles we meet and overcome,the road ahead of us ,there was truth and honesty but wicked too , like in life we experience,it also shows us how to be stong and reach goals.very important in recovery..........good point u have made here the association all of it done well....................there is no place like home ..one more thing these characters also portrayed a lack of confidece in the brain, the heart ,and courage.....tools we must meet to recover. But however i will debate that home isnt the answer the answer is within urself

Wicked Witch, and the trials along the road could be the left hand path of alcoholism.
Finding fault in the Wizard could be learning of the trouble with your addiction.
Looking for a brain, heart, and courage could be the first steps towards wanting to face your problems without relying on your addiction to alcohol.
Listening to the good Witch, and letting go might be considered turning it over to a higher power.
Many stories have a backbone of indomitable spirit, and rising above the individual hedonistic pursuits...in order to gain true happiness...and not a falsehood that is self destructive.

Hmm...I guess I wouldn't use the word "recovery". But I see where you're going and I agree somewhat. I think it just might mean that you need those three things to prosper along the road of life, and to be able to spot, avoid, or overcome the obstacles to your goal.

Actually, the book as an allegory or metaphor for the political, economic and social events of America of the 1890s.

I heard it had something to do with silver that there is definitely symbolism within the story but I'd have to research it. I think your version is taking it more literally (and poetically).

Good connection. I never thought much of it before, but the story could be likened to several situations that way. :)
