I have over six years in AA. I am grateful for my recovery and grateful for my sobriety.(edited for content) I have been accused oby family members who still drink of "thinking I am better." I walk a fine line--being sober, without the preachiness, or acting like I am better. I have even heard members say "oh the poor normies, they don't have a program." What I think is that "they" don't need a program, we do.
So, I go to meetings, I carefully choose my friends, and I hold those friends very close and very dear. (edited for content)
This is an AA board. We also talk about meetings, the Steps, and the Big Book. We are here for the newcomer to share experience, strength and hope. (edited myself, too) Chris

Hi, Cavamom Rejoining the world of man.... heheh. Someone who's entire life has centered around drugs, alcohol, can be a neurotic wreck for quite a while. Recovery's a process. Why dont you be an example, a little light of sanity for someone you see in this shape? Reach out.
This reply matched the concern as it was originally raised, doesnt make much sense now.
