AA was founded by men. In the 1930's when it was founded a woman would have been ostracised for admitting she had a problem with alcohol. It didn't take long for women to become a part of it and now it is 35% women. As a woman alcoholic, hanging out with other sober women is important to me.

AA isn't for everyone and that's fine too.

The reason 4-20 is so significant I think it that it is Adolph Hitler's birthday.

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
