I realized after being around AA not very long that these people had gotten out of that situation they'd found a way out of alcoholism and they did live in a new land. So the promise that that could happen to me too, and all I really needed to do was just keep doing the actions of AA and stay close to AA, that really kept me going through what was a difficult early recovery.
