This idea that newcomers want to be filled with hope only might be a tad self-serving. Actually, I needed to identify.
I really appreciated the down-to-earth shares about the reality of alcoholism. People who are so general and only share about all the solutions they found? I didn't doubt them. I also wondered......what are you talking about, really?
I never have done particularly well with abstract terms. Tell me what happened and how it worked out? I listen. Like the stories in the BB. Those made sense. Lots of AA shares did not.
