The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
I don't need to be well, I don't need to be nice, I don't need to be good, I don't need to pay attention, I don't need to agree with anything.
OK, so I do have to behave myself a little and not disrupt the meeting or threaten people.
But that's it.
It took me a long time to thaw and learn how to be an fully active, contributing, functioning member of AA.
Until then, AA was a gel tank for burns patients, suspending me in a way that prevented me from touching the sides of the universe.
