I had found my salvation. I wasn't alone any more.
I had found friends, understanding friends
who often knew what I was thinking and feeling
better than I knew myself, and didn't allow me to retreat
into my prison of loneliness and fear
over a fancied slight or hurt.
Talking things over with them,
great floods of enlightenment
showed me myself as I really was and I was like them.
We all had hundreds of character traits,
of fears and phobias, likes and dislikes in common.
Suddenly I could accept myself, faults and all --
for weren't we all like that?

Thought to Ponder....

AA brought me home when I had lost my way.
