Your post makes me think about one of the amazing things about aa when you first get started. Everyone is there - from the successful lawyer to the person just trying to get off the streets. Yet we're all the same. I know when I walk into that room that no matter how out of place I feel or how different everyone seems, we have one thing in common: alcoholism. And we know its viciousness so we've come together to try to heal. It really is a beautiful thing.
