”A community thirty miles away has fifteen fellows of
Alcoholics Anonymous. Being a large place, we think that someday its fellowship
will number many hundreds. But Life among alcoholics anonymous is more than
attending gatherings and visiting hospitals, cleaning up scrapes, helping to
settle family differences, explaining the disinherited son to his irate
parents, lending money and securing jobs for each other, when justified -these
are everyday occurrences. No one is discredited or has sunk too low to be
welcomed cordially.” - pg. 161 from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
There exists among us a fellowship of men, and young people
that share their experience strength and hope. There is a joy emanating from us
because we are aware of how blessed we are to have been able to receive detox and get sober. When we first get sober many of us had
very little hope left. We might have thought we had exhausted our chances at
recovering but we were pleasantly surprised to find that through going through Above
It All Treatment, AA, or addiction rehabilitation that we all had a chance at happiness
and getting sober. If you are struggling there is still hope for you all you
need to do is reach out, have faith, and have a desire to change the way you
are living. The fact is that through sobriety you never have to feel this way
or go through anything alone again. We have recovered from a seemingly hopeless
state of mind and body and we are here to help show you how you can recover
too.
