Risking the Truth

In Alcoholics Anonymous the importance of identification and honest sharing cannot be overemphasized. When I arrived at the doors of AA, I was isolated, frightened, and convinced that life would never improve. I had a vague hope that there could be something in AA for me--something that could make a sober and drug free life perhaps bearable--but I was not convinced. I have certainly found that "something," however, and much more, but only over a period of years and with much soul-searching through inventory and risk-taking through honest sharing.
