Part of the Solution

One of the gifts of my sobriety has been in traveling to many different countries and to various parts of North America. It's always interesting and enjoyable to experience AA in other places, and I have found that AA holds out just as warm a hand in Bangkok as it does in Sydney, Australia and that Florida groups have the same singleness of purpose as my home group in West Vancouver. However, on a recent trip to Eastern Canada I found differences which were profoundly disturbing to me.
