A Love That Asks for Nothing

I went on my first Twelfth Step call when I was three months sober. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to go. I didn't want to go on that Twelfth Step call any more than I wanted to be doing anything the old-timers had me doing, like washing the cups, reading chapter five, or going to meetings every day. But they told me to do these things if I wanted to stay sober and so I did them though they made no sense to me at the time.
