AA Around the World

IT may be fortunate or unfortunate that because I have been living ashore for the past three years, I have not been so active as an Internationalist. But I do take the liberty of considering myself an active member of AA as you may be aware. For the past three years I have been quite active in General Service locally, and I can honestly say that my sincere interest in our General Service was born through my being an active member of the Internationalists. In that way I was able not only to observe but to experience our General Service in action on a world-wide basis--possibly more than the vast majority of AA members regardless of the length of their sobriety. Many of them confine their efforts to local activities.
