From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, pg. 164:
"Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny."

And most importantly, you don’t have to walk it alone
