I go to AA and at least the meetings I go to they are. I never feel alone there.
They also keep me honest. I heard at a meeting yesterday. This is real. There are no imposters here. There may be people that don't work the program and there may be people that seem to sit on the same rock forever but no matter where they are in their recovery, they are alcoholics.
This is true. You are not alone there. The stories, history and what step you are on my all be different. But in the end, we all have one thing in common.
