So…I’m not an alcoholic. I promise this isn't denial! I've never used alcohol, but I started coming here for the friends and family stuff. Despite not being an alcoholic, I have been to an AA meeting before. I took a class on addiction in college and one of the requirements was to go to a couple 12 step meetings. The amount of support the people there showed to each other was so amazing it almost made me wish I *were* an alcoholic. I was so impressed with how welcoming it felt there and how everyone accepted everyone else exactly where they were at. There was no judgment. This may not mean much coming from an “outsider,” but if you’re even the least bit considering it, give it a try.
