I wholeheartedly agree with Greeneyes...your support, insight and wisdom is amazing. On point, I was thinking this morning about a previous post where someone said they were resistant to AA because it was brainwashing. And ya know what, this morning I had to agree. AA has "washed my brain" of old selfish ways of thinking...and helped me to see the absolute beauty and benefit of reaching out and genuinely caring about the welfare of others, instead of only concerning myself with myself and "protecting" that self from the outside world. It's awesome.
