Experience, strength and hope.
what happened to us in the past, how we got through it and the hope and faith we now have for the future is how it was explained to me.
I recently took the plunge into AA, but when I read our AA forums here, they often leave me feeling bewildered, scared, and put off. My solution is to get my AA elsewhere and IF I have a burning question I need answered here on SR, I privately message some one I trust, because frankly I am afraid to pose the question here.
