On the cover of my book, Memories and Miracles, I’m seated on a wall in Kyiv, Ukraine when our 1991 group from Creating A Sober World was in that city to plant a family member 12-Step group. We had just come from Moldova where people were bartering for food as they tried to break away from the Soviet Union. Read this book (available from Amazon or from me) to answer the questions: Are we back in a Cold War with Russia?  What difference did we make?
