One Year Back
Mar13 things like that are what AA is all about:
Trust me, there were a lot of other folks at that meeting doing the same thing I did, we do not shoot our wounded in AA. If someone comes into AA, gets sober and then decides "Hey maybe I am not an alcoholic" and goes out and drinks again, they are welcome back with open arms.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
When I picked up my one year chip (actually my original 1 year chip from a couple of years ago) I know there were a few people who were surprised. When I went out and came back I told my sponsor and a few close friends and introduced myself as a newcomer in my first 30 days at my regular Thursday night meeting but never said much more about it. Anyway, last night was really positive, feels good to have that first year under my belt again.

After a person has been pulled from the bowels of hell back into the light of life with the help of others who were in the same spot at one time one finds them selfs more then happy to help others out of the same hole they were in.
Feel like hell, need a hug, a wink, a smile of understanding, some one to be willing to help you out of a bad spot, some one to make you laugh, a shoulder to cry on? Go to an AA meeting.
I am not going to lie & say there are not some jerks in AA, there are, but they are few and far between, the vast majority of folks in AA are the most loving caring people I have ever known! They loved me until I was able to learn to love myself!
