Alone No More
Alcoholism was a lonely business, even though we were surrounded by people who loved us.
But when our self-will had driven everybody away and our isolation became complete,
we commenced to play the big shot in cheap barrooms. . .
For those of us who were like that, AA has a very special meaning.
In this Fellowship we begin to learn right relations with people who understand us;
we don’t have to be alone any more.
- As Bill Sees It, p. 252
Thought to Ponder . . .
An open heart is never a lonely one.
AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
Y A N A = You Are Not Alone.

Hi everyone, I'm Keitha, an alcoholic. Step One saved my life because all of a sudden I wasn't different, wasn't terrible, and I wasn't alone. Honesty was the doorway to a lifetime of surrendering my self-hate because as soon as you heard my truth, I was free. You loved me until I could love myself. Thanks for letting me share.
