and we we

over in the plant and poor

and didn't want to behave the way they were doing and that and that I had an

because eighteen louder thank Bakersfield in California that would regulate all right we got the money trail landed like nothing out there

a long time making life

I get that but when we got to make a big deal making another twenty five out the current life thanks to the right of it and we got a cold record something that reflected a hate back that night and forgotten about that and the next morning the man at the little booklet going down when we got him crackers or something to eat he said if you want like in the army in the picking great there and I think maybe I can use you know we walk in he writes down a little right and one thing and actually yeah I haven't got a gap picking great

and I work hard and I'm a guardian flight even happening and then a lot of that down all of those great pictures confirmed that it had come from any direction and they were calling it monthly network that actually handled by the fall of nineteen Cutler cloud and they gather around the bonfire because the main thing up and kept getting your sleeping bag or whatever and so the doctor climbs higher and they kind of highlighting and bell and I'm feeling a little cloud there and I've got nothing but a lot of violence IV helping in hand and I'll be thinking that life and let it let me get back to life and like every guy can harmonize things like that and then I thought around the big circle of young people and now here and I'm here I felt bottle back

a path around the capital a lot of things happen and I know that a lot of them being named quarter wiki and I'm here and I'm not going in the water and the calibrated and I knew that when that level we can now watch the neck the neck that open up for me

it

eight me and I turned up the island right read the whole thing

and realizing that I had failed once again I couldn't bear it I got up in the campfire and I wandered down the road right

the link from one road to the next I'm going along with my head down and stopping incline I remember looking at the blue and gray oh god why am I doing it why am I doing it I never felt that follow Michael eight trim paint and I finally began to worry and that because I heard your heavenly music and dance at my plant and animal

and I thought

I have over ten at a time now that I've got the top of everything else that needed to get the beautiful and I think in the long run to get away from the music and I couldn't get away from that it got louder and louder and louder and then when I stumbled upon it he can't out there in an acre that would be a great line and it would be local the final meeting apparently and all the people were in that thing but I didn't know that and when I leave at like a double during that part of the flap of the tent and the near the clock

your

even thirty then he looked back in the back by the end of it live that they can guarantee

take care you're running down my cheek it clung ending backpack laying back and forth and the congregation floating turned around and gave me the I. and as he was playing it any and he along there any among you who want to be paint creek carpeted with the queue for the regular do that thing out that was the one who wanted to be great and they were really interested in my life behavior I thought they were helping me a lot at the close and it took me forever and a day to get down and they began to think that as I am without one plea and that young man that cared and I finally got to the altar and put a hand up put it on my head to pray for me and I threw up all

later years in many many many many many many bad things but he died in a car and the but I never had anything are you have never heard any

and line that I fill up on the preacher

because I couldn't bear that what

and I get I get out of there and hitchhiked back to that yeah

really I am

is that going to work for and do it again do it again and then when I would get in my current account and the big play and get here because I can't be thinking hi my bottle in the sand

where are the other could be hating on south and and talking when you get something I would hand out bottled down packed down the plant where I can call it out and get drunk in a wonderful happy they didn't have any

Agathe listening Kelly and so then I got in the car in now and I went and I found exactly thank you and what time being there like that me and I have been here but all over my baby Groot on the car and I really

I left before two o'clock and I'll get to black and

they could live and I live at the gate right and I like I could I could I could make a whole lot I would I would have to run them and follow them and I get up and run a little bit and I fall down

and I think that the good luck and I got to our house and he would make anything like the happy bring out a cake ever because I couldn't

it had had hired her near near even look like a fan for quite awhile and I would run and I worked a lot and I would get up and I got I got it and I want to get the look back and my nylons were often trading down the only black but within the heel of the nylon and I have been creating those in back of me all the way on the bottom and I didn't feel very happy about all that and

yeah I would pray and pray for him oh god please don't let be behave like it's like like well like well look long I can't guarantee it one day I got in my car and I drove up over that ridge route went and picked it up and that's a lie look around and then now the daylight left and even if they could get it going and I wonder why I am here I don't know anyone I want to go home I turned around and I got back on the big route and and a plastic made man and and hello who look like the bad guy Reagan handcar ride and they will do an apple over because I could no longer on the docket I wanted to get home and be at eight until finally he has got a contact and can you drive me again after that I have been a complete and and technique Los Angeles like rambling and I got the backing plate and then finding somebody with picking me lady lady like that when I send you love here we are well I'm gonna leave you here because I have to go down and get all that crap a lot weaker you're gonna kick the hell can you can you hear me and I think yeah and he laughed and I'm looking for a lot of it the company L. and I learned that by now welcome Turkish bath

at that point you know gave me about the great phone lines were pretty big my legs were being lightly not that large but I would not put him and I thought I'd take a Turkey back like I used to remember to keep me and I would pick up I don't like the ticket back or put it back on in the week and I need to I need to take a bath I'll go in and build up and I go home and I look good and then I can tell them that yeah that I went up and then they look at rant that was a good bye and I work in the real estate and and that that's why I was out of town and I can hook up with going in and how people will believe it and I can get my foot in the door when like hind that he wouldn't put up with it

and so I didn't want to go down I think thanks thank you I wanted to turn my head out and I'm looking into the new band and how can I wanted nothing to read after the Turkish bath which take quite a while and I would stay there all night the next morning I put on my make up the whole little handshake and I'd be okay and I will get in anywhere from an hour again so I thought I read and I get that

I haven't heard back Linda terrible talk again and come back and I'm playing a little better and the light shining down my face I think that the magazine can lead in

and that even pro can enter dated March first nineteen forty one and down at the bottom the letters about an inch high Alcoholics Anonymous my cat Alexander large party here nineteen forty one

I opened it and read a book coming out because I had picked up a kind magazine with an article in it Michael okay two years before that in nineteen thirty nine when I was at my login log home much lately eighty two years before I had picked it up in the beginning

out of the court but I mean there is an alcoholic and died and I had read and he had the

Pete about Alcoholics Anonymous and it was very hot at the end of the long band of men who were meeting regularly in banding together alcoholic who did not want to drink and for the next weekend after that they call them Alcoholics Anonymous and I thought I'll go back there I'm fine

I will do that and I couldn't wait to get out I couldn't wait I look at the picture if he can give me a little and their work and everything like that and I thought oh they're in a hospital that land thank you because I am and everything in there and I thought medley P. again read the article it looked the picture that you're leading a having pain at liberty

because we are working now and I turn the page and that Dennis hit nine and eleven the first picture showing an ambulance that was very interesting I really thought it had a

and are they really locked in that and then I take the land they were talking to him in the band there and I thought oh that's ridiculous you know in advance yeah and then I came to the end of the article the report could find them and I thought I think the next plane back there and thought that the black number I don't know what it let them one three four five or whatever and then they can be done and I wrote a letter to Alcoholics Anonymous connected I'm a woman alcoholic and I'm at the point of death and drinking and I can do no better and I have a lovely home and and good family and I have a little girl and I can't make it at all I cannot make it at all I cannot do I look into your eight hospital and get cured please tell me where you are and I will be there

they laughed about it later but and that's really what happened

and

Hey and then I'll never forget her handbag I'll never forget I heard about it lose it now and

that's not too long but it can be they can get that over with that you can't find it here at the New York office and then you need not come back here to find out how they can not a look because in December nineteenth nineteen thirty nine make that Alcoholics Anonymous and I think if your own home town and we will we will think that they're very few of them accounted with two men and a woman and one man actually finding another and then they go in together and that we had a meeting in the L.

and no longer leading in home in Pasadena hello I will give you the telephone number address from the man who appeared to be you know leading the group and yet got the group for help with it with some way to cook the other one we caught it at that time he gave me Frank Randall the advanced by thirty cruise Dr Coronado any phone number and that hello I am I went ahead and got drunk

because unfortunately Courtney had added a PDF at the bottom of the letter if you need help immediately call click Walker

at

relentlessly for five I have a lot of Walker and the name then I I'll get here that I even talk about him because he really made my life I got drunk and trying to get thrown out and then I remembered a a and I got out the phone number of plant which was crafted something about and then I called him up and hit three people I can't you're gonna ask that you're a ambulance and pick me up I'm ready
