Isn't it something how-things-work-out sometimes. If I had not heard about this magnificent adventure in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia I am positive that would have been that. I would not have ever heard of it.
But because I was familiar with the book ..
And because I knew of the adventure .. I recognized it.
On the right side of the below photo you can see the A.A. pamphlet table in the front corner on the Borrett Road side of the meeting room at Nr. 12 Borrett Road in Hong Kong.
The book is not in the above photo.
When I was at a meeting recently .. because I instantly recognized it when I saw it sitting there on the pamphlet table I snapped several photos.
You have to look closely at the very bottom center of the above photo to see the book.
Below you can see it very clearly.
A good closeup look at it resting in Hong Kong.
An inscription in the front of this Hong Kong copy of Global Sober.
How much fun was this? A lot of fun!
In Sobriety ..
I began this website to show photographs of our significant historical sites. Dr. Bob's home in Akron Ohio. Bill Wilson's birthplace in East Dorset Vermont. Stepping Stones in New York. Then it occurred to me that once done .. there would be nothing more to post here! So for this reason I have decided to expand my initial thoughts about this website to also include photographs of meeting locations and other tidbits that I feel would be of interest to those of you following this website.
MANY OF YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE MANY IMPORTANT HISTORICAL SITES OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS.
I PLAN TO SHARE WITH YOU PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN OF THEM AS WELL AS PHOTOS I HAVE TAKEN OF SPECIAL MEETING LOCATIONS THAT I HAVE VISITED.

AUG 26, 15 .. GLOBAL SOBER .. Part 1 ..
Once in awhile .. From time-to-time .. I run across something so phenomenal .. so outstanding .. so unbelievable .. so amazing .. that I am at a loss-for-words.
Yesterday here in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia I was made aware of a book titled ..
And an organization as well ..
GLOBAL SOBER .. www.Global-Sober.com
I contacted the author and was told it was OK for me to post a few photos of the book of 600 pages ..
Without further ado ..
Here we go loop-de-loop .. Here we go loop-de-li ..
The book is enormous. The pages are approximately 11x17 inches in size. It must weigh at the very minimum two (2) pounds.
Will all of you just-look-at .. The Table Of Contents ..
I personally have visited many of the above locations and I KNOW what a demanding task it is ..
I selected the following pages to photograph because .. Each page or photo means something very personal and special to me ..
MILFORD CONNECTICUT !!
Words fail me !! How very special !! Of all the places visited .. MILFORD CONNECTICUT .. makes-the-cut !!
Do you want special? Visit the Canyon Club in Laguna Beach California !! Global Sober did !!
THE CANYON CLUB ..
I was lucky enough to actually know Dr. Paul ..
When I was visiting Dr. Paul and his wife Max in their home I verbally in a friendly manner 'attacked' Dr. Paul about this 'crap-you-wrote' that Acceptance Is The Answer!
Dr. Paul just smiled and told me that ..
"Acceptance does NOT mean approval." ..
Dr. Paul's personal words-to-me in his home. What a difference this makes concerning the concept of acceptance !!
If I am not accepting what I cannot change then I am trying to change what I cannot accept. There are bad-things-happening-to-good-people but they are what they are.
The Canyon Club is so famous .. from Chuck C. right down-the-line ..
I now sit here in MONGOLIA .. Had I not been here I may never have heard of this book and journey ..
Do you want special? Come to Mongolia !! Global Sober did !!
In addition to having an apartment here in Ulaanbaatar MONGOLIA ..
I have an apartment in the Sheung Wan District of Western HONG KONG ..
Do you want special? Pack your bags TODAY and fly to Hong Kong !! Global Sober did !!
It gets no better ..
Number 12 Borrett Road Hong Kong ..
Hello Lychee ..
Oh Yes .. Hong Kong ..
Do you want special? Catch the next flight to The-City-By-The-Bay .. San Francisco !! Global Sober did !!
I lived in the actual City of San Francisco .. off-and-on for the better part of thirty three (33) years .. What a significant place it is for me ..
Do you want special? Visit Toledo Ohio .. Global Sober did and was lucky enough to meet Mel B. the author of the A.A. book .. Pass It On ..
It would seem to me that a greater power was involved during this journey.
Now DO you REALLY want special ?
Set The Drink Down .. Trust God .. Clean House .. Help Others .. DR. BOB ..
Global Sober did !!
"Well that is that said Baba Fats sitting back down on his stone .." .. REST IN PEACE SHEL SILVERSTEIN .. THE SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT HIGH ..
