The Best of the Grapevine

An Important Milestone
For many of us, the admission that we are alcoholics was so difficult, painful, embarrassing, and shocking
that we arrived in the program just by saying the words "I'm an alcoholic." Some of us held back, afraid to let the words out.
Others of us were defiant, obstinately refusing to be railroaded by a bunch of eager beavers with the Big Book in hand.
When the moment of admission finally came, it was a milestone of immeasurable importance.
