Recovery Feels Better Than 'Feeling Good'

A friend of mine and I started a gay group in our town about four years ago. Philosophically I am opposed to special interest groups of any kind, as I feel that our common problem brings us together and the tolerance we learn in the program should help us grow and relate to various types of people. This, I feel, is one of the beautiful byproducts of AA membership. I justified this new group, nonetheless, because there are certain gay people who would not attend AA--at least initially--were it not for a group of this sort.
