The author of "Beginner's Meeting:Hope Blossoms" writes about getting sober along with her husband, but not being a part of AA for nearly two years. "I was forced to stay home and take care of the household [and] kids," she writes. "It's not easy when both parents are in the program at the same time ... I had to deal with my alcoholism on my own."

She contemplates drinking again, but another AA woman reaches out and begins to walk her through the Steps. What kind of help did you receive when you first came to AA? How do you and your group help newcomers today?
