Growing up in a loving home is something most would typically wish for. Growing up in a loving home and feeling unworthy of that love may seem a living nightmare. From a young age I always felt as though there was something intuitively wrong, whether it was not meeting expectation or being unable to complete a task the way I perceived it should have been. There was always this impending need for more from myself, that for some reason I could never fill. That all changed when I found the one…

My Alcoholics Anonymous meeting took place in 202 W. Broadway, Anaheim. The whole AA meeting lasted about an hour thirty minutes. The building seems to be an old church that no longer is being used.

When one thinks of an alcoholics anonymous group or any other delinquent sounding organization one might construe the typical junkie persona along with all of the negative connotations that accompany it. For the instance of "The Paragraph Group" at the 13th street clubhouse this is not the case. From young to old and from all walks of life alcoholism had seemed to have plagued more than just this junkie ideology. The meeting in particular that I observed opened with a prayer of serenity. The 12…

instead of someone else’s drinking problem. Anyone can attend and there is no cost associated with attendance and there are meetings held locally and internationally. The setting is informal and anonymous, so individuals can feel comfortable and safe in sharing their stories.
