I am fortunate, once again, to be in beautiful Banff. I just got back from one of my meetings at the Banff Hospital. It was a great meeting with close friends that I never met until tonight. We chatted about our journey's in sobriety and I remembered the various times when I was in Banff.
In 1983, I was in Banff to attend a 2 week engineering training session. It was a good course however, I don't remember too much because I was still drinking. At that time, a bottle of rye a dry was the norm for me. All I remember was feeling very, very lonely.
Fast forward 7 years to 1990 and I was in sober. Shortly after I was confronted at work, I had to go to Banff for a course once again. But this time, I was sober and attending my 12 step program. The loneliness was not there anymore. The same was true tonight. I am missing my "A" but I not lonely.
Hopefully next trip both "A" and Max can come with me!
