six or seven months ago and
I would I would be more than happy to
where was
over here on the
good morning

very
there used to be a liquor store in this
and I used it so much

this greatly
when I was drinking yeah
because
one
mmhm
I went up and I was
the restaurant
money away
you know
you know my arm
I think there was anything unusual about it
everybody in the room
right
I made sure that I didn't
at least as much as I
it really was because I put a lot of work
you know my schedule revolves around my drinking and there was things I wouldn't do
I wouldn't
I wouldn't I wouldn't do any of those things and it wasn't
I work for
the gentleman that
one
there was an accident

fortunately for me my my
and the more they want real life musing on
yes
I have a problem with alcohol
and I could imagine why
it was
he wanted me
all

in
I don't know why
because I really didn't want to go and
I agree with

and all of that
I was
Alcoholics Anonymous
and I don't remember a lot of
other than what you know twenty questions and
right
an existing
and she told me her story
the story was
she had glasses of wine every day
that's not a problem but
read two glasses of wine
so
she was an alcoholic
with her and
we read about a week later to go to a meeting and and the first
number one

the card
I was
there was
when I look back on it now
a member of

and it was even worse because the judge sentenced
I think he decided to make
you know people
thank
this is a report of what happened and you know that was observed swerving and
and it was you know one one one point one so they did the same thing for me
was observed
or
the court
remember that you feel about six inches tall
that was something
we were called
right off of
