A very close loved one has been with the program for almost 15 years now. This loved one was offered a high profile big giant job in another city and turned it down because one of the things this person didn't want to leave was the support network this person has made within AA.

I don't want to, in any way, point out who the person is, so that's why no pronouns.

I credit that program with this person still being in my life, in all our lives. This person is a wonderful, intelligent, hilarious, giving, caring person...always had a heart bigger than anything. This person has helped numerous other individuals on this road, and sadly has lost individuals who just couldn't get there.

So I don't knock AA. It might not work for everyone but I see how much it means to this person and I am more grateful than I can ever say.

Thanks Joe. That was a wonderful post.
