Ya know I think I spent my first month or two in AA just hoping that some amazing woman would notice that I looked really pitiful and would want to make me her pet project, fix me up all shiny and new. I also figured that was the secret to not having to work the 12 Steps. A woman could really show me the "easier, softer way".
Yeahhhh right!!
Thankfully my HP didn't see things the same way. I'm really grateful for the time alone, and I also used some of that time to make new friends and hang out over coffee.
