Dear Grapevine

ATTENDING regular AA meetings, especially my home group, helps. The company of other alcoholics who are trying not only to cope, but to enjoy life, is reassuring. During a rough day, looking forward to that night's meeting is almost as good as being there; it anchors my emotions. I also ask myself, What exactly are you feeling? Putting it into words clarifies what 'lousy' or 'rotten' really means.
