I'm sorry if that was harsh. I apologize. AA is the the only reason I am alive right now. My sponsor is someone that deserves the credit for that being so. I deserve the credit for listening to him and following his advice. Those 50+ year old people are my friends right now because they taught me. I attend at least 10 meetings a week because I want to live. And I love going to them. I don't know what Ring of Life is and I certainly won't bash it or anything else that keeps you alive. But I will defend what kept me alive. Just for that one person that read his post and thinks that is what AA is about...And how it works. Again...I am sorry.
