Got off the highway to hell and onto the road to recovery.
Hello, everyone. My name is Gerry and I am an alcoholic. I very recently began attending AA meetings after a DUI. A DUI which served as a wake-up call for me. I have only been to a couple of meetings, thus far, but the people I have met have already had a profound effect on me and have offered me so much encouragement. I really want to become a totally different person. One that is completely different then the one that alcohol made me into all these years. I have spend too many years denying I had the disease and enough is enough.
Gerry an Happy New Year

Welcome Gerry. Sounds like you're off to a great start.
This place, plus AA meetings and MOST IMPORTANTLY I think for me, getting a sponsor and doing my recovery work (for me as per the 12-step AA program) and applying the principles of that program to my life on a daily basis, has been a l changer for me.
Here's to 2018 being a year of recovery and growth for you.

Welcome and keep coming back from
one of many AA members who continue
to pass on our ESH - experiences,
strength and hopes of what our lives
were and are like before, during and
after addiction to others still suffering
or sick within their addiction.
