“I'm somebody who doesn't get along well with other people, who's awkward socially, and instead what I'm doing is I'm getting trained in AA as to how to show up and how to talk with others about Alcoholics Anonymous, and it's like: oh, I can do that, I can talk about AA, because I like talking about AA, and that's an easy you know- and then keep on doing a little bit more.”
