AA meetings ...

Last night at my Friday night meeting a friend was celebrating many years . He knew me when I was still drinking.  It was near the end of my drinking when I worked at this place . He would come in and chat with a coworker while waiting for his food . I knew my coworker was in AA and this customer was too . I wanted what they had . They were free from alcohol and the horrors it brings . My coworker barely knew me but he wanted that for me too . He knew I was in great trouble . He wanted for me to have what he had .
That was something else to have a person care about my well being ., To not cast me off as a nothing drunk but to want more for me , to want me  be well and happy . Wow, these guys care about me . Now many years later I am one of them . I too now know how it is  to  feel for other human beings , especially the ones who are in trouble like I was . For me now there is great joy in seeing what was once a miserable sad face begin to smile and shine again . I love this program because it works .
Love you , Jaybird
