. We have character defects we need to correct. So many people come into AA etc. and are guilt ridden.
AA just gives you some tools to use. AA also puts you in with other people that, for the most part will not be using or drinking.

We get better and our lives imptove by giving back. AA is selfish in the fact everyone is in there trying to save their own A$$. However, I was a selsfish SOB b 4 I came into AA. Now, I've gained an interest in making sure I offer my ESH to those aout there who's lives our miserable
The important thing to remember, I can't stress this enough. No one ever beats this till the day they die. Th moment you think you can drink again, it's going to kick your ASS
