aa friends Community Group
Welcome. If you come to visit for the first time and have some questions feel free to ask. PM someone if you like but don't stay a stranger. We were all in the pit. We know a way out. No condemnation and no hammers. Just ask and prepare to make a load of friends.
Over time, we get what we want out of this program. If we seek a better way of life, for example, we will develop it. If we want to diminish our pain, we will find relief. If we want love, we will learn how to give it and receive it.
Over time, our lives can improve a great deal through the Twelve Step program. Thus, our job is to keep coming to meetings and working the Steps.
Can I do what I need to do to get what I want?
Higher Power, help me to be
Patient with myself, the program,
And the process of change.

I've heard it compared to 'we are what we eat'. We want to be in good nutritional and physical shape, we don't shovel rubbish into our mouths to get that way yeah, so why do the same with our spiritual lives. Feed it with negative thoughts.
I could wish my miserable life away all I wanted, but it wasn't going to go away without action on my part. That's where the 12 steps breathed life into me.
