What Ever Happened?

WHEN I WAS catapulted into AA eleven years ago, I was considered a younger person. I was told that people like me were unusual when AA began, that younger people were sometimes advised to go out and get themselves a story. Nobody said that to me. I was referred to AA by a psychiatrist after I had encountered many of the animals from Walt Disney's movies in person and after I had lost my job. I was ready. I had hit bottom. I had qualified by any standard.
