  • One of the popular slogans in AA is read in "How it works" almost every meeting. It emphasizes the importance of progress in our own recovery. John D. shares his story as a flawed, but willing individual, and does an EXCELLENT job of sharing. His story is VERY uplifting and he inspires me with his honesty and willingness. Thank you so much John, you have an amazing story.
