Although some of us were lone drinkers,
it can hardly be said
that we completely lacked companionship
during our drinking days.
People were all around us.
We saw, heard, and touched them.
But most of our important dialogues were entirely interior,
held with ourselves.
We were sure nobody else would understand.
Besides ... we were not sure we wanted anybody
to understand. . .
In AA, we discover that we are not alone.
We are not totally unlike everybody, after all.
I'm not alone anymore.
Y A N A = You Are Not Alone.
