About 8-9 weeks ago when I began going to AA after a brutal bender, I attended a large group in a hospital gymnasium. There were probably 50-60 visitors and sitting at a table were two young women in their early to mid-twenties (one was the other's sponsor), and they facilitated the meeting.

They both told some very hairy tales of their past; their despair, suicidal thoughts, the feeling of hopelessness.. you name it. After genuinely surrendering themselves to the fact that they could no longer drink, they sought help in the program. Long story short, both women graduated college, in relationships with good, sober men, and were grateful for every day they had. You can find women like this in your area and they can help you. Take the initiative to make something happen
