I came to AA on the 24th November, 1997. I have still got the first Roundabout I was given - December issue. Wee Emily's letter - thanks for the memory - got me looking at my life today. I came through the doors of the Fellowship not knowing if I wanted to live or die. I was using alcohol as a solution to all my problems. Thanks to the Fellowship, I have not needed to take the first drink since that day. It has not been easy but it does get easier. I am also grateful for the centre pages, as I visited my family in the North and South of Ireland, and where I found Irish-Scottish Convention contact numbers and "where to find" for North and South.
I thank my Higher Power, who I choose to call God, for bringing me through the doors into the path of people, power and Programme.
