What we do outside the rooms doesn't matter when we're inside the rooms. I recall my surprise when I began learning what people do for a living. Sure, lots are blue collar, or disabled, or chronically unemployed. But plenty of us are educated and have realized some level of material success. We have business owners, teachers, medical professionals, many in the legal profession. It's just not relevant to our alcoholism.
I'm an MFA, taught three years in a large university, now work in the mental health field. My husband is an attorney. My sponsor is a MSW, his sponsor used to be in finance and (by choice!) works in a bar. I have sponsored a clinical psychologist, a paralegal, a civil servant, artists & writers.
How much are you connecting with AA folks outside of meetings?
Peace & Love,
