WELCOME

“We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 83

“Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isaiah 44:22

For what it's worth: Something was always whispering to me even during my deepest descent into alcoholism. I know now it was God's gentle attempts to save me. When I opened the door to my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, God was there waiting with open arms. I was too sick to realize it back then, but He welcomed me through the non-judgmental, loving acceptance of the members of Alcoholics Anonymous. And God continues to grant me happiness and freedom as I live the Twelve Steps. Today, in addition to continuing to practice the program daily, I want to welcome the next person I see walk through the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous.

God bless you.
