I rang AA but I certainly did not do it by myself. Yes, I picked up the phone but something caused me to pick it up. I drank for 26 years, other than having a limited involvement with AA in the past, there was no rhyme or reason that I have been able to find on why I picked up that phone.
After that I was never alone. I had the help of the people in AA that held me up until I could hold myself up. I had a HP that has been waiting for me and I only had to turn over my will to the care of my HP.
Alone? No, not alone. A had a little faith, I could have never done it alone.
