No one is too discredited or has sunk too low to be welcomed cordially — if he means business. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 2141-2142).
Come on in, you're welcome here.
We don't judge you by your need,
by your hurting, by your desperation.
Those we know well and greet you,
our own, our selves, in different editions.
You cannot shock us by how low you sank
or the extremes to which you went
to satisfy your addiction. We welcome you.

You cannot shock us by how low you sank
or the extremes to which you went
to satisfy your addiction. We welcome you.
Still, you can prove yourself unwelcome.
If you come to mock us, to learn our secrets,
to feel better than us, to hurt somebody...
If you are not someone who desires
to stop eating compulsively,
whether or not you work the steps,
use the tools, honor our steps and traditions,
try to find the way...
If you desire to stop, that's enough
and you're welcome here. But if not,
you don't mean business,
you're a distraction, and
we don't need you here.
