After that day 1 of admitting Step 1, powerlessness over alcohol and that my life had become unmanageable, I now feel like I belong. I belong in AA as I am an Alcoholic and I know now I am not a bad person just a sick person, with a disease that I am prepared to work on to manage every single friggin day.

I was completely defeated.

I finally realized that through my drinking, I had lived every nightmare I ever had. My own self-will and obsession to drink had driven me into a dark pit of hallucinations, blackouts, and despair.

I came to AA to stop my drinking but I am staying here to change my thinking.

Kicking ass in life, one day at a time.
