AA advice: An open mind

The new, sober me is a much better person than I ever could have been without AA

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

My alcoholic thinking led me to believe that I could control my drinking, but I couldn’t. When I came to AA, I realised that God was speaking to me through my group. My mind was open just enough to know that I needed His help.

A real, honest acceptance of AA took more time, but with it came humility. I know how insane I was, and I am extremely grateful to have my sanity restored to me and to be a sober alcoholic.
