Finding Turtles

For many years, my wife and I have vacationed in Puerto Escondido, a surfing and fishing town in Mexico. I always tried to curb my drinking there, but always failed. During a trip in December 2005 I overheard a friend, David, who I knew was in AA, mention to another friend that he was going to a “meeting,” and I asked him if I could attend. That was the beginning of my sober life.
