I was traveling to San Antonio during the week of the big AA meeting
and happened to be sitting next to one of the speakers. What luck!
We talked the entire flight about her history and her success in sobriety.
As the plane began decending, I told her that I was still struggling with understanding the issue of alcoholism. She highly recommended that I read "Drinking, a love story" by Caroline Knapp. I did and it has helped me tremendously! I can never thank her enough for opening my eyes to the mindset of an alcoholic.
