From real and anonymous attorneys for whom AAP provided safe, confidential, and privileged help:

"Although there are hundreds of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and other 12-step meetings on Oahu each week, only AAP was helpful to me as a lawyer, personally and professionally..."

"As we all know, Hawaii is a small community and AAP is providing comfort to attorneys who have a feeling of not belonging and not being understood at traditional AA meetings."

"...a service rendered by the AAP to a spouse in need is every bit as direct a service to the attorney as if it were the attorney who were the victim of the disease because in a very real and tangible way, the attorney is the victim of the disease."

"Members of the Bar are not simply getting signatures on their attendance sheets fro disciplinary counsels' orders and returning to use and abuse after completion of a six-month or one year program.  AAP is keeping people sober, healthy, and happy after the supervision and drug tests have stopped."

"In my own experience I have successfully prevented recurrence of the behavioral symptoms of my addictions (i.e. relapse) by being able to pick up the phone and call someone at AAP with a similar history who understands on many levels the obstacles to my sobriety and is always helpful in helping me overcome them."

"Thank you so much for offering lawyers a safe and confidential place to begin and continue the hard work of personal recovery from dangerous addictions and hopeless depression."

"Working with an attorney makes things a lot more real...  Steve Dixon knows what we all go through.  He is the only person who has really been leading me in a positive way."
