Safe landing

I’m a pilot. I got sober while I was teaching flying lessons in small airplanes. I pity my poor students back then. I was a bar and pub drinker. They had to deal with me hung over and reeking of booze and cigarettes. Fortunately, once I got to AA, I was home every night and was able to get to a lot of meetings. It built a strong foundation with excellent sponsorship, digging in and working the Steps, service work and a lot of prayer.
