I also rely on the 12 steps of AA (as adapted by my own fellowship) and the God of my understanding for my daily survival and well-being. (I’ve been “clean & sober” for 25 yrs.) Even though I am not an alcoholic, I am a grateful member of AA because the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking, which I have.

When I got to the church, I was shocked at the number of people. After opening the meeting, me and a friend along with others who were new to the group, were ushered off into a small cramped, hot room with an “AA teacher” (I will explain). We were told we had to go to this other meeting…strange? It got stranger.
