Best to you...for me the simple act of trying to help another person achieve sobriety is what keeps me sober.
You can do that, I do that, many thousands of people do that.
Just by you posting helps me and I hope helps you.
I have been an active member of AA for 2/3 of my life. Why I attend AA meetings, do service work, work the steps, is because I live a damn good life.
The AA fellowship is the people -- AA, the program, are the steps and traditions.
I don't post about AA people in derogatory terms as some people have. We are all on different levels of recovery, but we are equal.
If I want to I can go off on an insulting, condescending, bitter and resentful diatribe towards AA people (pretty much a dry drunk) but I can not do the same towards the program.
Though misquoted, there is an end passage to the Big Book: contempt prior to investigation breeds ignorance.
