A.A. is everything I want it to be.

I take what I want and I leave the rest.

I help people as much as I can, but I exercise boundaries and 'detachment'.

Lastly...

... we're going to meet all kinds... nobody came into the program suffering from too much sanity - we ALL have problems. Expect there to be differences of opinion, some turmoil, and unfortunately some insanity at times... then you won't be surprised.

A.A. is NOT a perfect program because it deals with people.

As an imperfect person with plenty of 'issues', AA works really well for me.
