ALIKE

"Then one night at an AA meeting a friend said that even though he had been in jail and done lots of stuff, he was no different from me. He felt the same thing. It was then that I knew I was not unique, that the people did understand the pain inside me." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 378

"And city dwellers and farmers and shepherds alike will live together in peace and happiness." Jeremiah 31:24

For what it's worth: No one understood me, nor ever would. I felt different, alone and isolated when I was drinking. The agony of my alcoholic despair drove me to seek help. And, what a blessing I found! Alcoholics Anonymous showed me that in sobriety I am not unique, and I am not alone. The people in Alcoholics Anonymous understand my thoughts and feelings. Despite our differences we are alike. That sounds like a contradiction, but I have witnessed that truth. They always join with me when I need support. All I need do is have enough humility to let them know I need help.

God bless you.
