      My Greatest Test so Far

      Members who are deaf, blind, or otherwise disabled do whatever it takes to get to meetings, stay sober, and carry the message

      Members who were differently abled before they came into the rooms, or who became deaf, blind, unable to walk, or otherwise physically challenged after they got sober, write about how they used the program to find peace with their limitations. Almost all of them had to take special actions and ask for help in order to keep hearing or reading the message, or to attend meetings. Most, at one point or another, felt the pangs of feeling “different.” “We are all ‘different’ from other people, and that is what makes us alike,” a deaf AA points out. Adds a fellow member confined to a wheelchair: “I’m still a drunk, whether I walk into these rooms or wheel in.”
