"But life among Alcoholics Anonymous is more than attending
gatherings and visiting hospitals. Cleaning up old scrapes, helping
to settle family differences, explaining the disinherited son to his
irate parents, lending money and securing jobs for each other, when
justified these are everyday occurrences. No one is too
discredited or has sunk too low to be welcomed cordially if he means
business."

We go to AA not to hide in AA, but to live life outside of AA, using the spiritual principles. And it's open to anyone who wants to end their old life and despair and pain. I was in that place, and was welcomed with open arms. And I pay it back by doing the same and working with others. What AA has given me goes way beyond the church basement walls. It permeates into every aspect in my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.
