I’ve never been very good with Alcoholics Anonymous, I’ve tried and done well before but was on some strongly sedating psych medications and was still a smoker at the time.
I did learn a lot, still, not being the best.
It’s admirable that you open up about your participation in the program.
Hopefully it can help others rethink their situations and choices.
Good work Jerry.
