Hi Mini,
Welcome and keep reading, posting & asking questions.
I was thinking the other day at my AA meeting how I felt as if I had finally gotten the "secret handshake." It may sound silly but I always felt in life that everyone had this "secret handshake" or "secret connection" that made them more human than I was. Finally, in AA, I feel like I got the secret handshake. The best part of it is, there are no membership requirements for AA other than a desire to stop drinking. So any and all can get that "secret handshake." Maybe I didn't express myself too well but bottom line is, in AA I finally felt as though I belonged.
