Thanks for your comment, I'm in AA and I really like the aspect of the program that is living a life based on a practical philosophy of stoicism, i.e. the serenity prayer. I've been at a bottom too, which is an experience of depravity and pain that is often difficult for people to relate to.

I'm a big fan of the serenity prayer. I drop God from the the first line. Either way there's a lot of wisdom in those few lines. I'm very open about my alcoholism. Primarily it's to help other addicts see past the shame almost all of us experience. Secondarily it is to help non-addicts understand the addicts in their lives.
