“And that's like a revelation for me of when it works. It's crazy. I have the same. Okay, so that's the distinct time that I knew this program works. That time. And then I started to realize why he told me not to call him with problems or your dog pisses on the floor or if you fucking stub your toe or you're having a bad day. It doesn't say 90 and 90. God gave her to me when, I don't know, God bless. Whatever it is. God gave her to me. Well, he gave you to each other. Gave us to each other, but I, you know, the 12 Steps. Dave and I are both big on this, you agree with me on this right? I would assume that you got to follow that is a blueprint. You know these are my words not Dave's words that is a blueprint to give everybody a fucking clean slate providing the fact that you do it truthfully and honestly and thoroughly and leave out nothing.”
