"Our hope is that many alcoholic men and women, desperately in need, will see these pages, and we believe that it is only by fully disclosing ourselves and our problems that they will be persuaded to say, "Yes, I am one of them too; I must have this thing."

There is a Solution

Rigorous honesty -- it was a new concept to me. I had spent so many years twisting the truth to cover-up my drinking that I began to lie about practically everything. I was about as far away from "fully disclosing " myself as you could get. I didn't want any one to see the real me. Through A.A., I learned that to free myself, I needed to let others in. I was not judged only accepted. And after a while, I even learned to forgive myself.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

And so it is with this blog. I invite your comments and stories. Pass it on.
