Web Exclusive: The Homely Truth

A member sets out to tell his story without trying to make it more interesting and entertaining than it really was

As I approach my 34th year of continuous sobriety in AA, I have begun to take a closer look at my "story". In the past, I don't think that I lied, but I may have exaggerated some events or embellished a little just to make them sound more interesting. I would judge my share on how entertaining I thought it to be, or how many laughs I got. Today I try to be a little more honest. A few humorous antidotes still manage to find their way in on occasion.
