How awesome! I didn't have the support of my family. My home group and AA as a whole became my family. They loved me back to good health. When my family saw the change in me, they were more accepting, but in today, I still get a lot of condescention and holier than though attitudes. They are in the church, and even though my sister grew up in the same dysfunction family as I did, she did drink and smoke in the past. If their actions and life are Christian, I don't want it.
The spirituality of AA helped me find spirituality in my religious beliefs and my religious beliefs were enhanced by my spiritual beliefs. When I got to AA, I felt like I was home.
