Carrying the Message

When you are drinking, you feel so alone and picked on, but when you join AA, you feel like a person wanted even by strangers, and the strangers, and the strangers aren't strangers very long. Believing in God and being needed and wanted, that is heaven on earth. Also being among people that put their hands out to you, saying, "Your past can't be any worse than mine." The shaft of light coming in the window looks like a greeting from God, and makes you know that He is there to help you, if only you will really and truly ask for help.
