She's helped me to overcome a lot of fear and loathing. Thank you so much for providing a forum where an Alcoholic like me can talk about my illness. We are not freaks. The world is better when we are in it.
Warm Regards,

AA isnt for everyone, and that is okay. You can find other methods that are as effective, or maybe more depending on you. Im in Minnesota too.
