Z is for Zero. As it says in the AA literature, our score card read 'Zero' when we walked through the doors. Many of us were left with nothing, while other managed to get off the downward spiral before they lost everything.
I was a step off the streets when I found AA. I know I was empty, fragmented, and I wanted the world to stop so I could get off. I am so grateful that I found AA and now I don't get zeros, but pluses and blessing as I climbed up the ladder to a healthier way of living.
