Fellowship
I have a wealth of friends and, with my AA friends, an unusual quality of fellowship.
For, to these people, I am truly related. First, through mutual pain and despair,
and later through mutual objectives and newfound faith and hope.
And, as the years go by, working together, sharing our experiences with one another,
and also sharing a mutual trust, understanding, and love
-- without strings, without obligation --
we acquire relationships that are unique and priceless.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 276

Hello all, I'm Jay, an alcoholic. For me, AA is the only place I know where status means nothing. Nobody fools anybody else. Everyone is here because he or she made a slobbering mess of his or her life and is trying to put the pieces back together. I have attended hundreds of church meetings, city meetings, etc., yet I have never found the kind of love I find at AA. For one small hour the high and mighty descend, and the lowly rise. The leveling that results is what people mean when they use the word "Brotherhood." You are my sisters and brothers with one purpose in mind -- love, support, understanding, and forgiveness. This is the place that somehow offers (pardon the pun), GRACE 'on tap!'
