From the Grass Roots

IT will soon be two years since I arrived in Japan with my worries of the future, my fear of the unknown and my anxiety about my precious sobriety (three years' worth). I have been primarily a loner, though for a short while I had the companionship of another long standing AA from a nearby base. He was soon transferred, and I have been compelled, for the most part, to practice my AA program alone.
