I have had my share of problems, heartaches,
and disappointments because that is life,
but also I have known a great deal of joy
and a peace that is the handmaiden of an inner freedom.
I have a wealth of friends and, with my AA friends,
an unusual quality of fellowship.
For, to these people, I am truly related.
First, with mutual pain and despair,
and later through mutual objectives
and newfound faith and hope.
Within our wonderful new world,
we have found freedom from our fatal obsession.
