Pretty important, if you're like me. Once I get to feeling different, unless I take action, it just feeds on itself, another of those catch 22s the program seems so full of. I just KNEW I was different, long before I took my first drink, almost as far back as I can remember. AA was the first place I really started to relate to others, and it took many years and relapses before that started to work.

We judge each other all the time, whether we go to meetings or not. Does someone's judgement of me harm me, or do I have to give it that power? Emotional problems? Well, I didn't get into AA because I'm emotionally healthy, that's for sure.
