“So if you give yourself a chance, you can go back. You walk up to the nearest bar and they'll refund your misery. I was going to tell you about that in nine months, right? I decided, like, these women, okay, they talk me into staying sober, whatever. But also part of the reason I stayed sober is there was another woman struggling that day who was in my home group, and she said, I'll meet you tonight at a meeting. I went to the meeting. She never showed up. I called the next day to see how she was doing, and she was in jail because she had hit, like, the fountain up in Edmonds, drunk driving.
