Wherever We’re Needed

When I moved to Whitehorse in Canada’s northern Yukon Territory, I thought I was moving to the wilderness and total isolation. It turns out that isolation was only in my soul and wasn’t lifted until I truly became a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Yukoners in the rooms helped me to see that I was a part of something much bigger than little old me. They loved me enough to take the time to listen, share and show me, so that I could break through the denial, stop pointing the finger and start the journey of self-discovery. I also became aware that far from being remote, Whitehorse is a diverse city, partly due to our international airport. From here I can fly to destinations throughout southern Canada, the U.S. and even Europe. This ease of travel allows me to be of service in AA as delegate to Area 79 BC/Yukon. Our area borders on the United States, not only in Alaska, but also all the way down to Washington State, making it the second largest geographic area in the U.S./Canada service structure.
