Wings Take Time

THE warm and friendly welcome accorded me by the non-alcoholics in the session which followed my first open meeting I still remember with gratitude! It was a wonderful experience to be swept into the heart of a circle of friendly people, before whom I had nothing to hide, and with whom I didn't have to be on guard. Somehow they managed to brush away the fear and the tension within me. I felt relaxed and completely at home. Above all, they gave me hope, and they inspired me with a wish to return again and again! I didn't know it then, but I know now that that was my first contact with non-alcoholic therapy in action.
