We all have to start somewhere and I had to start in an odd place myself or give up the friendship of a special family friend that was helping me through so much for so long..... he knew so much about recovery and didn't want to see me fall deeper into the hole...
Today I am thankful for his push and for my willingness and courage to stick with AA ONE DAY AT A TIME..... I didn't feel like I belonged or fit in. But I am glad I stuck with it all these years.
For all those that still suffer and are thinking if they belong.... keep moving forward and don't give up on yourself.... you can do this and see it through.... this is your life and you CAN MAKE THE MOST OF IT THIS IS YOUR LIFE....
I made it after 24 years and I am going on with more years for the future..... and loving every minute...... because it is so much a part of my life no matter what...... Hang in there and keep coming back....
