A new guy at our morning meeting is from Iran by way of teen years in
Germany. It was his birthday last
Friday and he does not have any family here.
Lea bought him balloons on Monday.
I took him, Lea and three other guys out to lunch today nicer Persian
restaurant in Bellevue.
We met at a noon meeting which already got the others in early recovery
a bit out of their comfort zone from the Alano Club. It is always good to go to a new
meeting. A couple of them shared at the
meeting expanding their recovery horizons even that much more.
It was a celebration of his recovery and my small token of a
geo-political statement for all the anti-Muslim rhetoric bandied about by
fearful haters in the news these days.
We had a good time at lunch. I
wish we would have lingered to chat longer, but it was a good start for all of
us on practicing socializing with and supporting others.
I am grateful to be able to afford lunch at a nice place for myself and
others.
