“I don't regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. I'm open to suffering, but I would not want to relive all my years of alcoholism. And then I was kind of correcting myself, like, well, whatever God wants me to do, like if there's another life, you know, if I come back in another life and go through it again, yeah, to be helpful to others, like just trusting in his plan. And I don't think God ever wants me to drink, you know, and the obsession has been lifted. I've been restored to sanity. But hey, you know, like whatever, whatever God's plan is like, that's where my trust is, I'm along for the ride. I hope that makes sense. Thank you, Kelly. Wonderful, thank you, Kelly. Nancy, come on, thank you. It's nice to be with everybody tonight. I'm Nancy and I'm an alcoholic.”
