Terri F. Says: I fought going to an AA meeting as hard as I fought (afterwards for 3 years), going into treatment. I was scared, embarrased, beat down, and totally and completely ashamed.

Note: The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
