Hi. I've been in AA for many years and "we" have observed there is a few obstacles in a lot of peoples way including mine in the beginning. First we need to be honest with ourselves about our own drinking. We had to stop for our own benefit and we had to accept our own inability to drink in safety. Unfortunately we seem to have a talent to BS ourselves and then continue along the path of destruction as it never gets any better than it is today. It's a process of learning and self improvement which can result if feeling good in our own skin.
BE WELL
