A New Adventure

There was a time in my life when I wanted to be an explorer, an adventurer and a writer. I was very young then and, like so many other AA members, I never said, “Someday I want to be an alcoholic.” I didn’t see it happening, but alcohol crept into my life and my daily routine slowly, patiently, waiting for the day I would say, “I need a drink.” It was only after 30 years of drinking that I surrendered to my disease. I turned to AA and began living in the solution.
