I was embarrassed when I first went to AA. What if somebody sees me? What are they going to think of me? I can't do this. Surely no one drank like I did.
Meeting after meeting I started realizing, These people ARE just like me. Story after story I kept hearing of all the things people did or didn't do and I could relate. The embarrassment? GONE! The people that saw me at AA were once in my shoes. We were alcoholics. There was no judging. Don't be afraid to tell your story. You'll be amazed at how much in common you have with your fellowship than you thought
