## Resource

Andrew came into AA feeling awkward, young, and afraid of being seen, then found that service gave him a way to belong without having to become somebody else.

With dry humor and a deep love for the fellowship, he talks about general service, corrections correspondence, carrying the message, and how showing up for AA gave him far more than the relief he first came looking for.
