Tank buddies

When I was sober nine months, I asked my stepdad for money because I wanted to go back to school and do something with myself. He had funded most of my drinking career, so he simply said no. So I went home with my new resentment and a couple of weeks later joined the Army. I’m grateful that the recruiting doctor wrote on my paperwork that I could attend AA in basic training. I wouldn’t have survived basic without AA.
