[QUOTE=favedave;3678266]Sorry - I didn't mean to belittle AA or the people in it.
Just that it scares the crap out of me. I'm not a trusting person so it makes me wonder why others would even care about my problems.

dont feel bad,dave. i didnt trust anyone at the meetings when i 1st got into AA. it took time for them folks to earn my trust. then i learned that trust thing is a 2 way street. i had to earn their trust and show i was serious about recovery.

its not a cult. yer free to come and go as you wish.
i hope that the fear of getting drunk is greater than the fear of the unknown.
just gotta get ya some courage.


why do we care about your problems?
becuae we have been in your shoes and have found a solution we of AA can all agree on and are willing to carry that to the still sick and suffering alcoholic.
