QUESTIONS??? - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Remember being told that there were no stupid questions in AA. I didn't ask because I didn't want to appear 'stupid' and that word kept me sick, because I had been told I was stupid all my life. How can I know what I have never been taught? How can I know if I don't ask?

What was good for me was going to meetings and listening to people share around the discussion tables. I also went to 12 Step meetings, I might have been on Step One, but learning about the others, gave me a goal, and I could work them into my life to the best of my ability. When it came to working the Step when I got to it in order, I had a more open mind and a willingness to do the work. Just because I was sober and on Step One was no reason I should continue acting out in my disease.
