On October 5th, all transition year students had a talk from AA (Alcoholic Anonymous). We watched a short documentary on how alcohol addiction affects people from young to old. There were three speakers who explained what the AA does to help addicts and spoke about their own experiences with alcohol addiction. It was interesting and upsetting to hear how they felt their addiction was like a trap they couldn’t break out of. At the end there was a question and answer session in which they answered our questions very honestly. They then finished with the prayer they say at the end of all their meetings.
