CHAPTER 29

Joe stood at a wooden dais in the front of the room, grateful for something to stand behind and lean on. No matter how many times he would say this, it was always uncomfortable.

“Hi. I’m Joe, and I’m an alcoholic.”

“Hi, Joe!” Twenty people in Conference Room A acknowledged him.

Five of the AA members were women and the rest were men. Tom, the big, uniformed crew member who led the group, presided from the back row on the right.

Joe, as a private investigator, was scanning everyone at this meeting with a new eye. Most of them seemed to be passengers, but he noted that two of the men - back row on the left - wore the Mystral’s tan uniform pants and shoes, albeit with non-uniform shirts. They were strong-looking guys with weathered faces, taller than the many Filipino waiters and cabin stewards. He made another quick guess: Skilled seamen.

Tom, apparently noticing Joe’s pause, gave him an encouraging nod from the back row. All the same, Joe appreciated it. It was never easy to bare your soul to strangers, and it was no easier this time. Like every addict, Joe had never believed other people when they suggested he was an alcoholic. It never hit home until he said it himself.
