International Sobriety

AFTER reading toe story of "International Drunk" in the December Grapevine, my thoughts went back to my world travels, after finally achieving AA sobriety and a new sense of values and direction in my life. What a vivid contrast my happy memories are to what they might have been had my foreign tour occurred in the old drinking days. This first reaction of self-satisfaction was quickly stifled by the reflection that my trip would never have been possible at all, had I not at last realized the AA way of life.
