The White Flag raffle-break: smiling, nodding, understanding nothing

timeline_event

texture · 8 Nov YDAU

When: Sunday 8 Nov YDAU, evening, the White Flag Group's meeting hall (Provident, Enfield), during the raffle-break mingle.
What: Amid the break's milling fellowship, "Alfonso Parias-Carbo is standing with three Allston Group guys, smiling broadly and nodding, not understanding a word anybody says." The plainest picture of his linguistic isolation inside the recovery world he faithfully attends.
