	New (Preview) I am new to the AA online thing. Would anyone be willing to help me out and tell me how this works? I am thirteen days sober today and want to continue on that path. I am looking for a way to receive help without going to meetings, where you are not heard or seen. Thank you so much.	Cmay	20	890	Apr 7, 2014 by Cmay
