AJ's Quest: Finding Strength in AA Home Groups
Going to meetings, it points me in the right direction. It allows me to spend time with five grandkids that while I was drinking, they weren't the focus when I was with them. I just think being honest with the ones closest to me about my emotions- and that's been the part in my journey that's been the biggest success and it was my biggest failure while I was drinking.
