“My life is so great today. I'm closer to God than I probably have ever been in my life. And I'm in the middle of service work now. It's service to my AA group. I sponsor people now. I'm very grateful for my sponsors. They keep me sober and they keep me green and they keep me in the middle of things. Because if I'm not, I'm in the old farts league. But I need people in my life to tell me that I'm not that great, you know.”
