HIV Anonymous 12 Steps to Positive Attitude

Positive Attitudes is a fellowship of persons who have found that living with a potentially terminal illness and/or affected by this illness is a major challenge. They are individuals who meet regularly as a group, assisting one another in this new way of life. They have no outside affiliations. Your past is kept in confidence within the group. They don’t thrive on your past, but concentrate on what we want for today and our future. For many, the realization of their present conditions left them feeling dejected and depressed. They could no longer live life to its fullest. They became disoriented, and their peace of mind was displaced by uncontrollable emotions.
