Arlie, it takes courage to question our drinking. Its like our best friend and the solution can seem impossable to us. Going to AA was the best thing I every did for myself. I too put myself and my young children in dangerous situations. I hated myself for it and didnt know how to stop. I was so scared at my first meeting.What would these people think of me? Found out some did worse things than I did some not as bad. I found hope and healing in the rooms of AA. Im so glad I faced my fear and went to meetings.
