The Best Sponsor I Never Had

At one of my first AA meetings, I can remember looking out across the tables and listening to a long-time member explain how to get sober and stay sober. The alcoholic fog I was in made the event seem almost dreamlike, but it was real. The man's plain, honest, down-to-earth, and often blunt talk reached me and guided me into the Fellowship. In my desperation to find a way to stop drinking, I immediately recognized that this person had an answer. The answer was the AA program.
