Growing Up in AA

When I first came to AA, I thought I was much too young to be an alcoholic. I still had some partying to do. But then I went back to drinking, and I thought I was going to lose my mind. I reached a bottom so low I knew there was no hope for me and that I was going to be miserable for the rest of my life. I had just accepted that fact when God intervened, and once again I found myself in an AA meeting. Only this time it was different. I listened to the similarities, not the differences. For the first time in my life, other people understood me. I didn't feel so alone.
