I'm an alcoholic, you know, like, I am built to fucking drink, you know. And like, I hear a lot of people who, like, have problems in aa meetings and stuff, and it's like man, you know, I do stuff like I have newcomers from immediate meetings, you know, or like somebody just like lost their mom or like whatever. I'm going to a meeting because I have service commitment there, because I'm meeting someone there, you know, and it makes being in aa a lot more tolerable.
