To say I found my way to AA is not really true. It was more being forced by a rehab counselor and my wife. I went to get them off my back. I knew it could not work because I was not like those people. I went to a meeting and saw healthy happy people who said they did not drink. For the first time in my life I felt like people understood what it was like to be me. I felt better after the meeting and I could not explain why. I kept coming back and my life is better than I could have imagined.

Congrats on 4 years and as importantly a happy life without alcohol.
