“So, you know, I'll tell you this. When we all started to come back to meetings after COVID, I was saying the exact same thing, that there are going to be people who relapsed over COVID. They're going to be new people who've never been to a real meeting. You know, hitch up your bootstraps and get ready, you know, because we have to help.”
