housed
on
Gulf
drive
and
with
a
bunch
of
guys
around
the
country
who
are
known
as
the
knights
of
humility
because
of
their
arrogance
there's
only
one
humble
night
and
I'm
too
humble
to
tell
you
that
is
but
I
really
love

it
was
a
celebrity

convention
or
thank
Joe
on
the
committee
for
inviting
me
my
first
I
first
talk
to
the
Florida
state
a
convention
I
guess
and
thirty
years
ago
over
in
Miami
and
I
remember
how
much
I
enjoyed
that
and
I
and
joy
being
here
and
this
is
really
I've
I've
really
kind
of
utilities
is
spent
so
much
good
entertainment
you
kind
of
feel
like
you
hate
to
spoil
it
by
having
a
talk
in
the
middle
of
a
general
they
moved
maybe
and
get
these
honeys
out
you're
like
coming
there
I
wish
one
would
collapse
in
my
arms
they
did
a
wonderful
job
though
an
idea
last
night
I
mean
you
know
today
we
got
the
star
studded
stuff
in
my
study
of
the
medieval
stuff
and
I
was
watching
Joe
March
around
would
dress
to
king
Henry
the
eighth
and
and
Tom
or
was
it
some
kind
of
a
night
in
some
gone
of
some
sort
and
I
and
I
noticed
Joe
kept
his
costume
on
a
timer
took
his
off
by
the
end
of
the
evening
I
said
why
is
that
Tom
Herman
what's
what's
wrong
why
are
you
changing
music
on
CD
project
once
a
king
always
a
king
but
once
a
night
is
enough
I
really
enjoyed
the
commission
joined
the
meeting
so
going
to
meetings
I
enjoyed
last
night
Brian
for
many
times
I
was
like
to
hear
me
talk
I
certainly
enjoyed
gains
presentation
instigate
G.
on
the
on
the
singleness
of
purpose
which
again
is
something
we
need
to
hear
and
unfortunately
most
people
need
to
hear
it
don't
go
to
the
meeting
that's
that's
a
trouble
those
kind
of
meetings
you
singleness
of
purpose
hello
aren't
going
there
and
and
really
you
really
find
out
front
what
aid
is
about
those
kind
of
meetings
she
does
remarkably
good
job
number
those
of
us
that
were
there
enjoyed
it
very
much
and
I
of
course
her
Alan
on
speaker
this
afternoon
who's
a
one
of
my
you'll
have
to
say
about
that
one
of
my
very
favorite
she's
the
only
on
on
speaker
I
know
that
I
refer
I
recommend
people
go
in
here
and
I
mean
I
don't
go
myself
but
I
recommend
a
lot
of
people
get
a
very
excellent
talk
nice
nice
girl
and
a
it's
been
a
good
all
the
small
management
goes
for
just
a
good
find
a
moment
of
a
history
I
was
killed
in
a
crash
on
these
people
and
outside
there
can
you
people
back
understand
me
at
all
I
have
been
able
to
understand
anybody
the
secret
hi
summation
there
and
we
have
some
new
people
some
of
our
reading
here's
a
surprising
to
see
that
and
it's
hard
to
remember
that
you
look
around
the
room
as
well
well
the
hotel
today
thinking
I'd
like
to
find
some
new
coaches
look
at
all
these
people
already
so
well
all
casual
and
try
to
imagine
everyone
of
them
sick
and
the
man
on
shaving
in
the
women's
smelling
bad
after
drinking
and
drunk
and
sick
I
think
everyone
here
has
been
like
that
and
what
a
miracle
it
is
for
us
to
be
here
and
so
hard
to
remember
this
so
easy
to
take
this
for
granted
because
no
that's
that's
the
bad
thing
about
eight
talks
you
know
how
they're
going
to
turn
out
sooner
or
later
no
matter
how
sad
I
make
this
story
here
I'm
going
to
say
and
then
I
put
the
plug
in
the
jug
it's
just
been
wonderful
objection
Hey
would
be
a
lot
more
realistic
at
the
group
level
food
have
speakers
are
resolves
it
and
then
it
turned
out
god
dammit
I
just
couldn't
make
it
more
closely
to
watch
this
is
gonna
be
one
who
makes
it
or
not
you
know
because
that's
the
way
it
is
in
the
in
the
groups
are
you
a
I
think
it's
a
funny
thing
we
we
talk
a
lot
about
eighty
and
how
easy
it
is
and
it
is
so
easy
as
a
man
really
nothing
to
it
and
that's
why
this
is
so
strange
that
so
many
people
slip
and
have
such
a
hard
time
with
that
I
was
in
and
out
of
a
year
after
year
after
year
after
year
and
I
don't
like
pain
and
I
hate
being
treated
like
in
for
I
hate
to
go
back
to
those
meetings
is
it
well
that
jerk
is
back
again
I
hate
these
things
I
don't
like
pain
and
yet
I
keep
slipping
and
I
never
it
just
seems
as
though
I
was
one
of
the
ones
god
shows
us
was
the
main
reason
was
because
I
felt
like
I
was
a
bad
man
in
the
center
and
I'd
hear
people
say
well
I'm
sorry
to
god's
grace
and
when
they
say
that
I
don't
I'm
going
to
stay
sober
because
I'm
not
going
to
get
god's
grace
god's
grace
goes
to
good
people
just
go
to
bad
people
and
I
I
sometimes
can
stay
sober
day
till
we
got
talking
about
returning
to
god
and
that
was
the
beginning
of
the
end
I
just
I
can't
do
that
they
only
have
one
also
one
probably
the
holy
centers
I
had
I
never
could
identify
you
know
the
the
new
people
here
tonight
you're
saying
you
don't
alcohol
is
a
first
alcoholics
purchase
problems
alcohol
and
you
come
to
eighty
eight
and
had
major
problems
alcohol
then
you
return
to
god
and
then
after
you
get
new
life
you
show
your
gratitude
by
helping
others
and
I
can't
do
any
of
those
things
because
my
problem
really
isn't
alcohol
and
I
can't
return
to
god
because
of
god
exists
I
am
damned
there's
no
way
around
that
and
there's
no
way
I'm
going
to
stay
around
here
you
don't
many
years
ago
nineteen
nineteen
fifties
by
the
gradual
to
ensure
the
grapevine
Dr
silk
with
two
of
the
bravest
man
eight
history
not
able
to
duck
bill
Wilson
Dr
wrote
an
article
for
the
grapevine
discussing
slips
he's
I
don't
know
why
alcoholics
make
such
a
big
fuss
about
slips
is
that
there's
some
sort
of
supernatural
thing
god
coming
down
to
punish
bad
people
he
said
we
see
this
in
medicine
all
the
time
he
said
we
have
someone
who
has
a
severe
heart
attack
and
we
we
pulled
him
through
the
heart
attack
and
we
get
on
their
feet
again
and
we
give
them
a
regime
to
follow
a
regime
of
you
must
get
your
rest
and
you
must
watch
what
you
eat
and
you
guys
check
certain
exercises
and
you
take
these
medications
at
this
table
fine
but
after
awhile
it
gets
boring
and
they
start
making
little
alterations
and
pretty
soon
well
I
don't
need
all
that
restrict
me
after
all
this
time
and
I
don't
you
know
I
could
have
been
a
little
thing
to
eat
and
little
by
little
and
they
don't
ever
go
over
here
they
just
go
off
a
little
bit
but
they
keep
going
off
a
little
bit
and
one
day
there
over
here
and
they
have
another
heart
attack
and
sometimes
die
just
same
thing
with
diabetics
receipt
all
the
time
diabetics
with
the
weather
feed
together
we
covered
can't
have
sugar
must
take
your
insulin
take
this
diet
get
your
rest
and
they
do
just
wonderfully
the
left
one
is
so
boring
and
I
can't
believe
a
little
sugar
thing
would
hurt
me
and
I
don't
really
need
all
I'll
get
more
rest
next
week
just
you
know
and
on
and
on
what
either
read
on
the
go
that's
all
that
happens
alcoholics
drug
use
I
don't
need
all
this
stuff
and
little
by
then
you're
over
there
and
you're
gone
you
should
not
make
a
big
deal
out
of
it
is
just
human
nature
and
it
really
I
can
understand
that
so
welcome
looking
back
in
retrospect
I
I
grew
up
but
I
was
raised
in
a
very
strict
religious
family
up
in
northern
Wisconsin
Norwegian
Lutheran
you
don't
see
many
Norwegian
restaurants
in
Florida
or
anywhere
else
a
few
years
ago
speaking
an
op
you
know
Oslo
and
after
the
meeting
that
took
me
up
to
north
of
there
too
racial
group
run
stolen
or
my
grandfather
had
come
from
the
eighteen
eighties
a
whole
bunch
of
game
in
America
my
grandfather's
brothers
and
all
kinds
of
people
came
to
America
in
a
big
mob
to
get
out
of
that
damn
climate
and
they
all
settled
in
Wisconsin
and
Minnesota
and
spend
the
rest
of
your
life
thing
yes
this
is
cold
here
too
when
I
go
in
there
they
brought
to
the
Norwegian
Lutheran
church
with
him
I
thought
this
California
when
I
went
to
Norway
the
church
the
Norwegian
with
intrusion
or
was
much
more
liberal
than
this
Wisconsin
because
they
had
needed
what
should
liberalize
the
kept
up
the
way
they
remembered
it
eighteen
eighty
five
as
much
as
they
could
and
you
know
you
just
have
to
it
is
a
good
idea
ten
commandments
you
try
to
observe
the
ten
commandments
you
you
don't
see
him
and
you
stay
away
from
Catholics
it
seems
reasonable
and
when
I
I
was
the
bad
you
know
you
seem
to
need
more
fun
than
other
newsrooms
in
the
pajamas
eight
or
nine
and
broken
couple
committed
a
second
lease
it
forgot
to
honor
my
mother
my
father
my
couple
did
my
neighbor
something
on
it
and
little
by
the
time
I
was
twelve
and
then
some
more
people
think
whatever's
fifteen
I
knew
that
I
would
stand
and
I
didn't
want
to
be
but
I
just
I
just
can't
do
it
and
would
save
me
is
that
the
war
started
I
ran
away
to
the
war
and
I
browse
had
this
secret
knowledge
I'm
really
going
to
go
to
hell
you
know
usually
when
you
grow
up
you
get
over
that
reply
Hitler
said
you
give
me
their
minds
under
twelve
and
they'll
be
a
little
bit
of
****
went
by
the
winter
ninety
five
and
so
I
are
you
one
day
I
was
having
trouble
in
school

was
having
some
trouble

thought
I'm
going
to
the
chapel

going
to
kill

I
in
the
side
of
my
mother
gave
me

was
going
to
order
one
of
the
superior
Wisconsin
visit
my
aunt
she
packed
my
little
bag
and
gave
me
bus
fare
and
I
checked
out
and
he
tried
to
San
Francisco

no
idea
where
the
hell
is
going
on
one
ride
all
the
way

made
it

my
dues
whatever

I
got
to
me
than
Embarcadero
put
me
on
a
big
ship
an
hour
later
is
about
where
the
South
Pacific
and
it
really
was
fun
for
about
forty
five
minutes
you
know
these
tough
guys
and
I
was
stuck
in
a
room
I
was
they
called
it
a
cabinet
was
cabins
have
blogs
this
was
a
room
with
three
of
the
worst
type
of
people
in
any
small
skinny
pimply
faced
dumb
kid
can
be
with
these
guys
are
called
man
what
was
to
be
here
and
I
lay
in
my
book
these
are
these
guys
start
talking
and
I
never
heard
talk
like
that
I
was
in
the
room
with
big
time
Sanders
I
thought
I'd
been
listening
these
were
big
time
center
said
they'd
been
doing
dirty
things
with
girls
in
that
chances
for
for
days
apparently
I
I
mean
I'd
had
section
Claire
Wisconsin
at
fifteen
but
I've
been
apprehensive
but
I've
been
afraid
that
been
alone
these
guys
were
doing
people
in
a
study
of
four
of
course
they've
all
got
black
here
those
are
the
Catholics
have
heard
about
three
hundred
mission
I
found
a
mission
that
ship
by
beginning
ship
fool
you
know
after
awhile
I
can't
go
up
there
not
only
left
handed
ranch
I
can't
love
to
keep
British
telecom
we
need
to
elbow
grease
these
guys
all
had
whiskey
in
there
but
she
makes
me
drink
every
night
and
drink
when
they
get
off
watching
it
just
to
Palm
Beach
had
never
seen
anything
like
that
and
they
drank
and
cursed
and
talk
dirty
and
I
just
felt
so
bad
and
one
day
this
guy
turned
to
me
how
much
he'll
join
here
you
think
you're
Manafort
all
she's
not
we
shop
the
bottle
in
my
face
and
I
was
dumb
but
I
was
basically
a
Norwegian
author
despite
being
a
bad
one
and
I
just
was
developing
a
something
to
tell
about
just
demolish
you
big
badman
get
the
bottle
out
of
my
face
I
have
to
be
a
Norwegian
look
through
we
don't
drink
whiskey
and
if
we
did
I
promised
my
mother
grandmother
we
have
not
going
to
be
quick
and
don't
you
ever
do
that
again
I
may
be
small
but
I
got
some
I
guess
some
honesty
has
your
telemedicine
what
you're
man
enough
I
heard
a
voice
say
god
damn
right
I
had
my
first
drink
of
the
respondents
close
to
that
I
threw
up
and
they
laughed
at
me
in
all
the
way
across
the
central
Pacific
when
nobody's
again
speaking
that
K.
C.
back
sooner
or
later
another
one
to
take
a
drink
I
vomited
that
went
up
to
the
didn't
know
I
was
so
desperate
want
those
guys
to
think
I
was
a
man
I
could
hold
a
drink
down
I
never
could
we're
coming
into
Pearl
Harbor
finally
I
saw
that
movie
Pearl
Harbor
last
year
due
to
the
terrible
love
story
but
it
really
had
dated
recreated
that's
where
Pearl
Harbor
looks
to
be
getting
a
World
War
two
and
I
was
it
was
up
to
look
at
another
ticket
and
drink
the
SLOC
one
more
time
in
the
day
before
my
sixteenth
birthday
it
stayed
down
and
I
couldn't
breathe
and
all
of
a
sudden
something
strange
happened
I
found
myself
feeling
significantly
better
right
I
realize
why
people
drink
I
did
to
in
your
teams
you
learn
things
you
don't
pay
much
attention
to
it
when
the
ship
smoke
nobody
my
family
small
visual
I
spoke
to
Putin
smoked
infused
what
do
I
spoke
to
didn't
puke
wrestled
to
a
half
or
three
packs
a
day
every
day
for
the
next
forty
seven
years
I
learned
of
course
a
little
bit
on
that
ship
I
learned
to
techniques
for
lost
not
a
member
work
but
I
had
at
least
started
and
I
would
be
a
terrible
I'll
call
it
the
next
day
they
took
me
to
Honolulu
bought
before
bugs
appeared
I
got
drunk
they
left
I
left
a
funny
little
I
want
another
ship
to
the
motion
islands
after
that
and
I
look
back
and
I
I
really
like
to
do
I
tried
to
learn
to
drink
from
then
on
to
drink
they
would
think
it
would
make
me
sick
because
what
I
found
out
as
a
teenager
that
drinking
give
me
a
good
feeling
I
don't
know
what
it
was
I
guess
in
retrospect
I
think
what
it
was
was
so
significant
I
believe
I
would
describe
it
as
that
was
the
first
time
I
ever
felt
the
way
men
looked
and
it's
just
remarkable
three
holes
in
me
were
filled
up
and
many
years
later
standing
on
Skid
Row
in
Los
Angeles
my
teeth
picked
out
and
everything
I
had
gone
after
being
somewhat
successful
don't
ask
me
why
I
drank
alcohol
I
could
give
all
surgeries
based
on
my
psychoanalysis
I'd
spend
thousands
of
dollars
in
psychoanalysis
I
read
books
I
read
German
philosophy
did
lot
of
things
and
I
can
give
you
reasons
why
of
the
conflicts
in
inter
conference
in
my
being
but
looking
back
the
one
answer
I
wouldn't
have
given
because
it
would
be
understood
it
was
the
correct
answer
the
correct
answer
was
I
had
my
last
drink
because
it
made
me
feel
the
way
men
look
that's
about
the
only
thing
I
can
describe
I
remember
the
last
day
I
drank
so
many
years
later
two
big
guys
threw
me
out
of
a
skid
row
mission
I
land
outside
the
sidewalk
and
I
stood
there
in
the
rain
and
cold
rainy
morning
sick
and
desperate
terrible
feeling
I
don't
know
what
the
feeling
was
I
know
what
it
is
now
because
I've
seen
it
in
others
I'm
sure
there
are
people
in
this
room
of
had
a
feeling
there
is
no
friendly
direction
you
have
no
more
friendly
there's
no
place
to
withdraw
to
to
go
back
to
to
say
I'm
sorry
you
are
on
your
own
you
better
make
it
if
someone
guy
would
company
that
morning
and
said
you
know
slam
you're
dying
you're
down
to
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
pounds
she
lost
your
wife
and
children
or
see
them
again
you
lost
your
career
once
upon
a
time
they
called
you
a
boy
genius
now
you
can
get
a
job
washing
dishes
you've
lost
your
all
your
clothes
in
that
great
car
you're
driving
for
someone
that
you
lost
in
Phoenix
new
at
the
jail
in
Phoenix
that
for
the
guy
kicked
her
front
teeth
out
centers
tend
your
with
your
blood
dripping
down
your
mouth
and
you're
sick
and
bloated
and
got
no
closer
your
clothes
are
torn
and
covered
with
vomit
your
little
mother
up
in
Wisconsin
she
no
longer
allowed
to
accept
phone
calls
from
you
because
your
stepfather
so
tired
of
watching
you
call
her
and
manipulators
so
should
go
to
a
little
tiny
bank
account
and
send
a
few
more
dollars
and
try
to
help
a
little
boy
now
you're
dying
on
the
street
or
even
go
to
a
often
on
for
almost
ten
years
now
and
you
sit
in
these
meetings
smugly
even
now
and
think
these
idiots
in
their
little
problems
what
what
would
what
did
you
go
back
to
a
one
more
time
and
admit
you're
an
alcoholic
and
do
something
about
it
and
if
some
guy
had
said
that
to
me
and
if
I'm
in
a
mood
to
be
honest
which
I
probably
would
not
have
been
how
to
handle
pal
you
don't
understand
I'm
not
really
an
alcoholic
we
might
as
well
prove
you're
not
an
alcoholic
I
would
be
able
to
do
that
it
would
have
been
able
to
stand
back
and
delineate
the
differences
so
I
probably
would
have
done
what
people
like
me
do
when
we
get
cornered
and
were
afraid
I
take
refuge
behind
bluster
and
I
say
things
like
object
out
of
my
face
you
son
of
a
****
let
me
because
I'm
afraid
I
don't
know
what
free
I
can
look
back
now
and
to
really
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
that
situation
I
mean
I
knew
I
had
problems
I've
had
no
problems
I
was
a
little
boy
there's
I've
always
had
the
feeling
I
guess
in
red
I
don't
know
what
the
feeling
was
that
I
would
look
at
it
later
in
life
I've
always
had
the
feeling
there's
something
missing
in
me
and
I
don't
know
what
it
is
and
nobody
tells
me
but
I
know
when
I
get
close
to
people
they
act
as
though
there's
something
missing
in
me
because
they
don't
seem
to
accept
me
the
way
the
except
other
people
and
I
don't
seem
to
fit
into
places
like
I
want
to
fit
in
to
let
other
people
seem
to
fit
into
and
I
feel
different
I
feel
lonely
sometimes
I
get
the
middle
crowds
we
should
feel
lonely
I
feel
less
than
sometimes
I
feel
superior
summers
but
I
don't
feel
equal
to
anybody
I
feel
not
a
part
of
things
and
not
all
of
these
things
aren't
there
all
the
time
but
the
common
goal
like
bubbles
in
a
pot
and
I
I
really
hate
that
either
right
grow
up
a
lot
growing
but
I
didn't
I
did
not
grow
to
yeah
I
had
I
had
some
victories
along
the
way
you
know
I've
had
victories
on
which
was
fine
but
today
but
the
victory
still
never
seem
to
last
just
they
just
seem
to
last
a
day
and
then
now
what
you
can
do
to
prove
yourself
always
got
to
prove
myself
I
was
going
to
prove
something
I
don't
want
to
work
for
what
about
and
I
when
I
get
older
I
became
somewhat
successful
as
a
writer
and
I
got
it
right
said
to
money
and
wonders
of
the
what
I
got
to
psychoanalysis
and
I
really
I
really
got
to
like
psychoanalysis
I
spent
thousands
of
dollars
in
psychoanalysis
and
I
don't
know
why
I
liked
it
because
only
ever
hear
in
psychoanalysis
new
news
and
how
you've
been
hurt
in
ways
you
don't
remember
yeah
but
I
yeah
I
really
liked
it
I
use
one
of
the
things
Jesus
it's
a
sad
story
but
I'm
doing
pretty
well
and
I
never
understood
why
psychoanalysis
people
like
me
I
don't
know
ten
years
later
several
quite
a
while
a
few
years
ago
a
guy
that
I
sponsors
telling
me
how
much
help
you
shooting
by
going
to
adult
children
of
alcoholics
not
tia
Allen
on
version
of
the
other
version
he
said
you
wanna
go
to
couple
business
ensure
love
to
go
and
I
sat
there
and
I
watched
this
action
going
on
and
I
suddenly
realized
that's
what
psychoanalysis
did
for
me
it
really
helped
me
of
all
the
emotions
I
know
probably
the
worst
one
is
deep
seated
guilt
continual
perpetual
go
you
don't
know
is
recognized
but
there's
always
that
ball
in
your
stomach
and
not
only
guilty
of
the
things
you've
done
but
kill
to
the
things
you
should
have
done
and
didn't
do
it
is
to
lay
down
if
you
go
through
life
it
seems
to
me
if
you
want
to
feel
like
this
is
always
like
this
just
always
off
somehow
and
what
do
you
think
I
don't
know
of
any
way
to
get
rid
of
guilt
drinking
gets
rid
of
it
temporarily
get
rid
of
that
scale
at
least
what
what
do
you
think
with
therapy
yes
really
guilt
and
that's
what
psychoanalysis
did
for
me
whether
intended
to
work
that
way
or
not
I
don't
know
and
I
don't
know
whether
the
adult
children
of
alcoholics
and
I'm
supposed
to
work
this
way
but
it
worked
this
way
for
me
it
just
boils
down
to
this
it
works
on
the
principle
that
the
patient
is
and
has
always
been
a
victim
you
haven't
heard
a
great
deal
it's
not
your
fault
you
may
not
receive
the
love
you
needed
could
not
receive
the
nurturing
the
friendly
hands
that
should
have
been
there
and
on
and
on
as
you
get
that
little
by
little
you
come
to
realize
yes
I
was
hurt
a
lot
and
little
by
little
you
come
to
realize
it
really
wasn't
my
fault
I've
been
made
this
way
by
forces
beyond
my
control
and
little
by
little
guilt
slowly
dissipates
and
is
great
although
I
did
I
never
thought
of
guilt
dissipating
I
just
started
feeling
better
but
looking
back
I
can
see
that's
what
it
does
deal
disappears
there's
a
great
relief
that
hadn't
hadn't
come
for
years
he
said
what's
wrong
with
that
that's
a
great
thing
and
maybe
it
is
for
most
people
but
you
know
you'll
discover
anything
did
you
find
good
in
this
world
there's
always
a
little
price
tag
for
a
little
little
tag
attached
to
it
and
there
are
three
little
price
tags
for
victimization
that
to
you
don't
see
the
time
but
you
can
seem
in
retrospect
clearly
one
whether
you
intend
to
or
not
you
must
accept
and
enhance
Billings
the
resentment
resentment
toward
the
people
of
her
chin
resentment
towards
the
people
of
failed
you
you
go
to
those
meetings
where
there's
no
laughter
in
those
meetings
they
are
intense
meetings
of
people
talking
about
how
they've
been
hurt
and
the
second
will
price
tag
you
praise
you
must
accept
the
fact
that
you
have
been
made
irrevocably
different
that
you're
you
know
you're
different
you're
gonna
stay
different
I
didn't
really
understand
what
you're
heard
one
of
their
groups
talk
one
time
he
said
we're
like
trees
or
river
sapling
someone
reach
within
us
and
pulled
out
our
hearts
we
continue
to
grow
physically
we
look
like
all
other
trees
but
we
have
no
heart
we
have
no
soul
because
been
taken
from
us
and
of
course
the
third
of
the
price
that
you
pay
which
is
obvious
if
you're
like
me
intermittent
but
intense
self
pity
I
could
have
been
something
by
god
you
know
I
think
you
have
seen
on
the
waterfront
word
Marlon
Brando's
edges
ready
I
coulda
been
a
contender
Jimmie
few
to
taking
care
of
me
hi
and
it
will
show
that
the
inconvenience
of
to
get
rid
of
guilt
maybe
they're
all
right
and
maybe
they
are
for
most
people
after
I
was
here
a
while
sober
and
begin
to
understand
that
and
reading
this
book
and
started
understanding
I
ran
across
something
funny
in
this
book
this
book
list
the
three
most
lethal
emotions
for
people
like
me
resentment
self
pity
and
feelings
of
difference
and
where
they're
so
meaningful
because
they
will
justify
every
drink
I
take
to
lie
die
from
it
and
it
will
never
have
been
my
fault
and
you
don't
understand
those
are
the
words
of
people
who
drink
till
they
die
but
I
read
philosophy
I
did
love
the
I've
got
to
do
German
philosophy
which
is
just
impossible
to
understand
just
backwards
upside
down
and
when
you're
reading
it
by
yourself
you
go
huh
people
are
looking
you
say
how
true
I
did
a
lot
of
things
but
nothing
in
my
life
ever
help
me
as
much
as
a
few
drinks
I
didn't
have
any
understands
it
that
was
not
a
natural
effect
I
just
have
a
few
drinks
help
me
with
anything
and
I
love
drinking
drinking
makes
me
feel
great
he
gets
rid
of
that
scale
really
makes
me
feel
like
I'm
something
and
what's
wrong
with
that
I
just
have
one
problem
with
it
I
have
an
unfortunate
tendency
to
over
drinks
sometimes
because
I
prefer
to
believe
I
have
many
times
been
thoughtlessly
over
served
and
then
I
ask
bizarrely
the
psychiatrist
told
me
once
you
act
is
only
because
you
repressed
as
a
child
but
then
are
we
going
to
church
and
you're
not
just
breaking
fourth
I
told
our
new
arresting
policemen
that
one
night
he
didn't
even
care
hi
I
go
to
jail
it's
no
big
deal
I
just
bring
a
drug
act
badly
so
I
was
sent
to
my
first
day
meeting
I
wasn't
center
someone
suggested
that
some
of
the
town
drunk
seem
to
be
slowing
down
the
growth
maybe
out
of
other
children
doing
how
do
my
first
drink
in
meeting
in
nineteen
forty
nine
that's
a
long
time
ago
now
do
you
little
snot
turn
even
born
we
love
you
and
I
don't
know
what
I
expected
to
find
but
I
but
I
found
wasn't
anything
to
help
me
and
seem
to
be
a
bunch
of
Edel
guys
sit
round
a
table
but
the
pride
in
the
job
but
I
just
want
to
make
a
new
year's
yeah
you
figured
I'll
call
it
twenty
two
I
said
no
I
don't
think
I'm
an
alcoholic
what
you're
doing
here
I
try
to
be
honest
as
I
think
I'm
too
sensitive
I
never
told
anybody
else
that
for
a
long
time
if
you're
working
with
the
newcomer
he
says
he's
too
sensitive
issues
you
might
try
not
to
laugh
because
you
maybe
try
to
be
honest
for
the
first
time
a
long
time
but
I
wanted
me
for
awhile
I
think
the
final
meeting
I
wanted
really
got
me
the
guys
in
I
stayed
drunk
around
the
clock
for
twenty
years
one
day
I
walked
in
that
door
tell
me
to
put
the
plug
in
the
jug
and
I
did
and
I
just
never
been
so
god
damn
happy
but
I
would
love
for
Fairbanks
Morse
the
nearby
city
drive
judge
Berman
I
got
drinking
a
little
too
much
and
I
went
to
a
in
the
same
old
crap
just
different
faces
and
what
a
good
that's
what
Hey
it's
a
nice
place
except
for
one
thing
my
problem
is
not
alcohol
I
have
some
of
the
feelings
they
have
been
on
my
brother's
alcohol
I
can't
stop
drinking
anytime
and
have
done
it
time
after
time
my
problem
is
once
I
stop
sometimes
a
couple
days
later
some
of
the
weeks
later
somebody
sneaks
into
my
bedroom
and
middle
of
the
night
and
puts
an
invisible
spring
in
my
gut
and
the
next
morning
when
I
get
up
they
start
to
tighten
it
and
then
you
start
the
restlessness
and
the
irritability
and
the
resentment
of
being
treated
like
a
child
by
people
who
are
depending
on
me
and
little
by
little
I
get
will
cross
it
and
try
to
do
things
but
I
know
they
won't
be
able
to
cut
that
feeling
is
two
or
three
drinks
and
I
pulled
off
a
long
as
I
can
and
eventually
I
take
a
drink
but
I
don't
take
a
drink
because
I'm
a
drinker
I
know
how
to
explain
that
to
people
I
drink
because
I
have
these
feelings
then
sometimes
later
I
drink
too
much
again
Michelle
your
problems
drinking
you
want
to
go
to
a
a
you'll
be
alright
the
FCG
thanks
for
the
advice
which
is
run
a
shriek
but
you
don't
understand
does
anybody
understand
our
problem
is
not
that
bad
there's
something
wrong
inside
of
me
but
the
one
thing
you
don't
want
to
talk
about
it
much
because
I
don't
want
to
as
our
books
is
no
rush
to
look
very
different
from
their
fellows
I
guess
and
so
I
drank
and
stayed
sober
and
want
to
be
psychoanalysis
and
read
books
and
had
jobs
and
good
jobs
went
down
another
good
job
and
went
down

Dallas

was
the
last
time

was
working
for
Tracy

advertising
into
the
south
and
I
was
hoping
right
these
LCD
already
through
the
board
company
down
I
went
and
hid
in
a
matter
of
just
a
few
days
I
guess
they've
been
setting
up
for
some
time
been
notified
my
wife
she
left
they
repossessed
my
car
I
was
the
victim
of
my
house
Justin
we
got
Frank

work
in
the
US
Senate
street
corner
nothing
negative
G.
car
to
drive
to
Los
Angeles
to
get
out
of
there
I
got
as
far
as
Phoenix
and
got
drunk
and
lost
the
card
at
the
jail
get
my
teeth
out
lost
everything
I
had
one
of
the
a
club
and
how
some
some
already
for
twenty
dollars
Tularosa
newcomer
and
for
twelve
supposed
to
get
them
to
Los
Angeles
and
here
I'm
being
thrown
out
of
a
skid
row
mission
that's
standing
here
you
troublemaker
address
right
so
I'm
not
a
troublemaker
three
years
ago
I
was
on
the
faculty
of
the
university
of
Texas
ads
that
I
wrote
are
running
this
weekend
in
life
and
time
in
the
New
York
region
the
post
I
had
my
picture
in
The
New
York
Times
for
one
of
my
treatments
but
it's
hard
to
explain
these
things
in
mid
air
Mr
send
the
damn
old
mission
in
the
cold
rain
that'll
guy
did
come
up
and
talk
to
me
but
I
I
couldn't
talk
to
anybody
get
out
of
the
rain
and
I'm
sick
right
after
you
join
a
club
and
pretend
to
be
a
new
cover
initial
stops
raining
and
if
I
were
in
a
critical
borders
seventy
two
blocks
away
and
I
walked
and
walked
and
walked
in
the
rain
and
I
walked
and
walked
and
sick
my
mother
reading
like
drenched
in
Warren
New
York
asking
them
how
they
could
possibly
walk
that
far
when
you're
so
sick
and
desperate
and
course
the
number
of
people
in
the
room
with
the
answer
that
that's
the
only
time
you
can
you
would
not
ever
do
that
if
you
had
any
alternative
and
I
got
to
this
club
with
the
same
old
crap
in
the
stampede
turned
over
to
god
and
matured
all
calls
and
sickening
smirks
in
just
and
I
lived
there
all
day
long
at
a
meeting
that
night
about
four
pounds
a
cake
that
I
can
eat
with
my
gums
yeah
at
a
meeting
on
gratitude
almost
puked
up
gonna
just
then
they
all
went
home
right
no
place
to
sleep
is
raining
I
said
the
magic
of
a
plan
to
put
on
my
new
cover
look
I'm
a
newcomer
no
rushed
everything
have
no
place
to
stay
can
you
help
me
the
Maybelline
look
so
you're
lucky
kid
cutting
Joe
Quinn
listen
forty
nine
mark
in
the
parking
lot
last
summer
so
tall
grass
and
you
can
sleep
in
apps
if
you
want
me
to
sleep
in
abandoned
car
yeah
good
deal
thank
you
very
much
I
still
remember
sleeping
that
gamble
card
the
dead
cold
and
sick
of
my
mouth
bleeding
yeah
I
thought
I
can't
believe
this
and
that's
why
we're
in
the
club
on
a
Sunday
morning
it's
working
if
you
had
a
spiritual
meeting
about
god
or
Jesus
or
somebody
didn't
want
to
hear
about
who
is
on
my
table
and
looked
all
after
that
that
there's
another
meeting
and
I
went
to
that
needs
more
cake
in
this
in
this
crap
and
semi
abandoned
car
kept
reading
to
get
the
next
morning
we're
thinking
maybe
I'm
dead
maybe
I'm
maybe
this
is
what
hell
really
is
it
is
it
is
in
fire
and
brimstone
just
cold
and
rain
and
your
mouth
hurts
and
every
day
someone
talks
to
you
but
eighty
eight
for
eternity
and
I
had
no
idea
then
there
after
the
beep
my
sobriety
it
didn't
want
to
be
I
got
sober
a
lot
of
times
for
good
reasons
I
never
wanted
anyone
to
be
so
that
puts
a
persisting
so
you
know
you
think
if
you're
a
lot
of
people
think
like
I
used
to
think
if
you
really
want
to
stop
drinking
bad
enough
you
will
and
and
maybe
some
people
do
not
people
of
are
attacked
apparently
I
I
was
in
jail
one
night
overnight
just
overnight
I
was
in
jail
overnight
a
lot
because
I
I
have
a
tendency
to
drink
to
counsel
police
officers
you
think
you
learn
after
awhile
but
I
was
there's
a
new
officer
that
needs
help
and
if
I
get
the
morning
again
made
me
into
you
see
Jesus
and
how
much
I
I
know
I
am
sorry
it's
going
to
be
better
I
just
had
a
bad
please
well
you
are
drunk
essential
son
died
we
couldn't
find
you
anywhere
and
that's
just
about
killed
me
sent
a
bunch
of
girls
and
one
little
boy
and
I
could
not
stand
it
I
could
not
stop
I
felt
such
an
wave
of
terrible
guilt
and
with
very
little
boy
Wisconsin
I
still
remember
that
weekend
sitting
in
a
living
room
with
my
two
big
brothers
and
all
their
big
healthy
farmers
Wisconsin
farm
boys
and
their
dad
my
father
in
law
and
nobody
said
unkind
word
to
me
I
just
have
some
more
pastry
class
here
establece
coffee
here
can
I
get
you
something
but
in
their
eyes
you
could
just
see
what
have
you
done
to
our
sister
you
dirty
****
you
thirty
****
we
may
have
some
more
pace
and
we
buried
my
son
I
put
my
hand
is
casket
nobody's
watching
us
I
promise
you
John
image
when
this
will
never
happen
again
in
our
family
I
promise
you
and
we
buried
next
to
those
that
okay
yeah
I
had
a
thought
about
this
talking
to
carry
the
day
he's
had
this
problem
I
didn't
realize
how
guilty
that
made
me
feel
I
was
sober
five
years
before
I
could
face
the
fact
that
my
son
was
did
I
went
backwards
but
I
can't
gravestone
is
great
I
could
not
I
just
could
never
think
about
it
just
I
got
my
to
my
father
my
father
in
law
we
went
down
to
school
country
churchyard
end
of
put
some
grief
in
our
little
boy
journalism
and
was
really
touching
took
me
I
read
for
the
deep
thing
it
was
but
I
stopped
drinking
when
I
went
back
to
Texas
was
working
and
I
really
had
a
good
feeling
almost
like
it
was
a
beast
or
something
someone
has
died
but
the
proof
of
purposes
to
make
us
all
better
and
we
got
along
fine
and
my
family
I
got
a
lot
but
we
prayed
for
John
sold
and
I
went
to
work
can
go
a
long
way
to
work
and
things
are
going
well
and
I
I
thought
it's
so
sad
my
son's
death
had
happened
but
he
did
it
so
we
can
all
live
and
it
was
wonderful
to
one
night
somebody
snuck
into
my
bedroom
and
put
an
invisible
spring
and
my
god
the
next
morning
it
started
I
just
moved
here
to
build
a
as
the
days
went
by
and
restlessness
now
coupled
with
great
self
pity
and
killing
my
son
gives
bad
what
kind
of
a
rock
god
damn
thing
is
that
just
whose
job
the
job
is
like
a
job
anymore
you
just
bunch
of
dumbbells
and
they
don't
like
taxes
and
I
give
my
daughters
there
nor
is
it
merry
take
your
systems
in
order
to
route
for
god
sakes
let
me
alone
then
hate
myself
I'm
sorry
girl
we
played
a
March
and
knowing
if
I
could
just
have
a
couple
drinks
I
could
break
it
but
if
you
can
about
your
son's
casket
a
couple
drinks
and
one
day
it
got
to
a
point
where
my
wife
to
to
children
church
I
just
pulled
the
car
in
the
garage
and
took
the
holders
of
the
gospel
trimmer
much
sleep
and
died
and
the
neighbor
had
recently
bringing
coffins
Dan
and
he
knows
that
I
went
in
there
for
the
motor
running
too
much
we
handled
over
she
was
wrongly
found
me
dead
in
the
car
pulled
me
out
of
my
chest
and
breathe
my
maaf
they
rushed
me
to
the
hospital
examine
me
for
we
can
determine
how
seriously
mentally
ill
and
committed
me
to
the
state
insane
asylum
and
that's
how
I
get
when
I
stopped
drinking
folks
that
is
not
a
drinking
problem
or
something
terribly
wrong
inside
of
me
I
am
a
big
classified
me
as
a
schizophrenic
paranoid
tendencies
I
thought
about
that
a
lot
of
several
times
after
been
subject
to
back
to
Texas
sometime
and
find
that
psychiatrist
he
must
be
about
nine
you
know
I
could
probably
have
them
pretty
good
you
know
dear
you
categorize
me
as
some
sort
of
a
dual
personality
you
any
act
if
I
could
get
my
purse
down
his
other
two
automated
stays
my
problem
is
always
been
this
crowd
that
gathers
in
my
head
at
the
drop
of
a
hat
this
kid
out
here
building
we
can
what
do
you
think
I'm
not
sure
are
they
looking
at
you
as
funny
as
they
are
in
a
I
hear
people
say
things
like
I'm
not
sure
the
programs
enough
for
me
I
may
need
group
therapy
not
me
I
just
go
for
a
ride
alone
in
my
car
this
was
such
a
good
thing
about
alcohol
alcohol
reduces
it
to
one
voice
it
may
be
a
bad
voice
but
it's
one
of
the
ways
why
did
you
quit
your
job
and
punch
your
boss
right
in
the
face
okay
I
almost
didn't
get
out
of
there
you
know
how
we're
going
to
the
hospital
the
next
year
they
put
in
experimental
alcoholic
word
that
hospital
officials
say
the
Texas
and
by
that
time
my
my
mind
was
getting
better
from
electric
shock
treatments
I
was
able
to
pretend
to
be
an
alcoholic
not
out
recovered
alcoholic
I
thank
AT
that
time
but
my
problem
is
I
know
and
I
hung
around
this
club
is
just
hideous
dreadful
and
I
I
fell
into
the
every
January
I
go
to
a
the
North
York
group
in
Toronto
cops
prepare
yourself
for
an
exciting
thought
here
they
have
a
date
with
Clancy
hi
in
the
morning
if
some
local
guy
talking
and
I
talk
on
the
history
the
traditions
or
something
like
that
and
they
were
after
never
question
answer
reading
right
answer
visiting
authority
answers
questions
from
the
little
people
and
then
there's
another
local
speaker
I
talk
at
night
a
few
years
ago
talking
and
I've
discovered
that
bothers
meetings
I
do
what
I
like
to
mention
the
question
answer
reading
because
I
didn't
know
I
had
to
say
but
she
never
natural
ability
to
take
difficult
questions
and
if
I
don't
know
the
answer
I
can
weave
a
tapestry
of
B.
S.
well
I
think
let's
look
at
that
from
another
angle
here's
what
governor
actions
classy
I
have
a
question
if
you
don't
mind
I
would
like
one
year
long
answers
I
thought
somebody
had
a
slap
that
****
given
my
all
she's
every
year
you
have
hearing
you
talk
about
how
we
lost
everything
I
know
you're
dying
on
the
streets
and
all
of
the
you
know
you've
been
sober
forever
and
ever
you
touch
turns
to
gold
could
you
just
answer
to
censor
to
what
happened
not
some
long
harangue
just
a
sensor
to
as
well
you
could
possibly
put
them
in
a
sense
you
do
there's
so
many
psychological
things
take
place
thanks
I
thought
to
myself
if
you
maximize
your
own
****
you
bowled
me
the
FIA
she
broke
my
rhythm
is
what
you
did
I
was
very
upset
that
night
was
taking
a
shower
before
the
meeting
and
then
answer
came
it
was
answered
I
could
give
her
idea
I
probably
wouldn't
know
because
I
hate
little
dumb
answers
I
like
answers
with
body
input
not
if
we
have
new
coverage
here
tonight
I
hope
they
leave
saying
things
like
did
you
hear
what
Clancy
said
when
birds
don't
fly
at
night
did
you
hear
what
plans
he
said
never
mind
if
the
horses
blind
keep
loading
the
wagon
well
obviously
these
answers
me
nothing
but
they
give
the
newcomer
whole
the
answer
I
thought
it
was
so
dumb
just
that
dumb
this
is
the
first
time
I
ever
felt
so
bad
I
let
the
stupid
H.
tell
me
what
to
do
I
thought
that
was
the
final
indignity
the
final
sellout
I
don't
mean
steps
and
traditions
I
mean
things
like
in
those
days
up
well
this
is
a
this
is
a
club
we
have
had
to
be
a
member
to
be
in
the
daytime
and
night
you
could
commit
for
meetings
and
I
don't
wish
to
go
the
manager
took
pity
on
me
said
well
you're
you're
really
a
mess
you
can
spend
all
day
hang
around
but
you
got
to
go
to
the
meetings
and
sit
in
the
front
row
every
night
and
I
have
a
Quincy
with
address
and
so
should
me
and
that
there
were
no
styrofoam
cups
had
been
invented
yet
every
meeting
had
portion
cops
and
the
old
timers
get
sick
awash
in
those
looking
for
some
new
stooge
you
there
boy
that's
front
teeth
you
all
want
to
wash
our
cups
tonight
if
I
had
any
place
to
go
to
wasn't
reading
how
to
send
no
I
love
to
cook
tonight
or
tomorrow
night
or
any
other
night
I
want
to
let
them
off
with
that
long
term
I
said
I'd
be
on
the
rain
so
I
still
remember
that
night
we're
going
home
I'm
staying
on
the
club
just
the
managers
close
up
I
still
watch
those
damn
cups
and
ping
three
years
ago
I
wouldn't
hire
these
guys
to
mow
my
lawn
and
here
I
am
being
treated
like
dirt
remember
me
by
another
day
so
we
said
we
need
some
help
clean
up
how
bout
you
cared
about
to
teach
you
can
do
that
the
worst
of
all
Friday
night
guy
said
we
need
someone
to
help
stop
the
Myanmar
night
Jimmy
will
appear
but
you
could
you
live
right
here
on
the
property
and
I
thought
I
was
dead
I
just
I'll
just
do
this
let
die
can
be
long
and
I
thought
of
the
hands
of
a
fanatic
clubs
clubs
in
those
days
like
today
they
have
fanatics
that
if
you
stay
sober
very
long
the
other
on
you
like
a
pack
of
wild
dogs
you
know
got
a
sponsor
can
be
a
sponsor
American
sponsor
I'd
have
sponsors
if
your
new
tonight
let
me
tell
you
about
sponsors
they
all
seem
to
be
so
nice
I
want
to
help
you
with
the
step
up
I
just
want
to
stick
their
nose
in
your
business
that's
all
and
I
said
this
actor
committed
all
over
printed
I
mean
huge
movie
actor
I
see
the
movies
you
characterize
your
brother
is
I'll
get
some
money
from
this
idiot
I
guess
some
teeth
I
guess
some
clothes
and
go
back
to
New
York
yes
I
did
drink
a
lot
of
bad
luck
attrition
lock
in
some
other
places
to
run
my
lesson
I'm
ready
to
start
work
on
probation
and
I'll
become
something
and
I'll
save
my
money
welcome
back
to
Los
Angeles
to
hello
I'll
buy
this
club
in
order
to
burn
it
down
and
I
hope
they're
all
in
it
I
didn't
really
understand
I
saw
the
movie
Kerry
some
years
later
with
hope
they'll
pour
blood
and
water
burning
too
you
know
I
said
Bobby
my
sponsor
sure
kid
he
became
my
sponsor
I
try
to
Hey
Mike
isn't
there
but
he
had
he
was
a
fanatic
hard
to
play
a
fanatic
and
over
a
period
of
time
what
he
did
he
save
my
life
he
saved
my
life
very
simply
and
directly
and
I
I
want
to
go
to
someone
I
can
go
for
an
hour
talking
sekali
how
came
about
buy
one
get
two
point
of
because
I
told
Bob
you
know
he
he
would
try
to
help
me
I
mean
he
didn't
like
me
very
well
I
found
out
later
because
nobody
likes
a
smart
Alec
newcomers
a
smart
aleck
attitude
because
my
defense
and
I
was
a
loser
and
I
ridicule
out
of
people
but
he
would
take
me
with
him
and
he
would
talk
to
me
sometimes
and
and
every
room
talking
to
me
about
to
you're
somehow
got
to
come
come
to
believe
her
alcoholic
and
I
a
driver
like
I
can't
I
can't
be
an
alcoholic
bye
bye
I
wish
I
could
if
I
I
wish
I
were
in
Auckland
could
save
so
many
problems
over
the
years
but
I'm
not
and
it's
over
pretend
what
we've
always
this
the
number
one
problem
I
can't
be
an
alcoholic
is
that
my
problem
is
not
alcohol
it
really
isn't
it
is
when
I'm
drunk
but
it's
not
really
alcohol
and
he
is
over
creative
time
really
pounded
into
me
he
said
I
said
to
Bob
I
can't
take
the
first
step
because
I
cannot
admit
I'm
really
an
alcoholic
he
said
why
don't
you
just
read
the
black
parts
on
the
page
what
is
it
saves
the
state
would
Richard
alcoholic
no
but
that's
what
it
means
and
you
know
what
and
I
know
and
if
I
need
to
point
out
to
be
so
I
had
to
admit
I
was
powerless
over
alcohol
I
think
I'm
not
powers
over
all
his
or
do
you
think
you're
powerless
over
alcohol
not
really
he's
very
good
policy
these
guys
talking
meetings
begin
drunken
rate
nuns
and
they
fight
a
Hong
Kong
movies
I
was
a
good
guy
that's
been
hurt
a
lot
victimized
Bob
that's
been
my
problem
do
you
think
you
should
do
every
generation
there's
a
small
group
of
drinkers
to
get
a
natural
reaction
alcohol
what
do
you
think
that
is
I
think
using
a
drunken
state
drops
not
at
all
that's
why
people
die
from
this
thing
Principia
natural
reaction
something
you
never
think
about
is
that
what
it
does
to
you
at
all
it
has
to
do
something
special
for
you
it
must
almost
instantly
alter
your
perception
of
reality
and
change
your
relationship
to
the
world
around
and
fill
the
hole
since
idea
I
used
to
the
rock
what's
wrong
with
that
he
says
does
that
little
by
little
you
get
more
and
more
living
in
a
little
more
fantasy
to
come
to
depend
on
and
more
and
more
and
eventually
the
final
stages
you
could
no
longer
predict
what's
happening
we
start
to
drink
I
don't
I'm
not
like
I
didn't
get
drunk
and
fight
a
Hong
Kong
says
it
doesn't
mean
that
it
means
for
people
like
us
would
research
independent
or
drinking
you
may
have
four
or
five
drinks
and
go
home
go
to
bed
you
may
have
four
or
five
drinks
go
to
Mexico
four
five
branch
fall
in
love
with
eighty
nine
year
old
woman
on
a
Walker
thanks
doctor
which
is
something
going
to
happen
yeah
that's
right
I
understand
that
he
said
the
bad
thing
is
this
the
kid
that
you
got
to
have
a
drink
and
I
will
fight
it
but
but
it
happens
when
people
drink
don't
you
understand
about
my
problems
are
not
caused
by
drinking
okay
so
I
do
drink
so
I'm
having
a
natural
reaction
but
that's
not
my
problem
is
my
life
was
unpleasant
and
that's
why
I
drink
not
I
don't
get
my
life
is
not
in
place
because
every
he
said
he
had
wanted
to
redo
that
steps
as
we
admitted
we
were
powerless
over
alcohol
dash
in
the
English
language
dash
means
end
of
thought
beginning
a
new
thought
you
now
must
admit
that
your
life
is
a
manageable
July
financial
not
really
he
said
you're
living
in
an
abandoned
car
for
Christ's
sake
and
I
said
that
is
what
it
means
it
often
means
is
up
in
Malibu
the
richest
man
in
North
America
sits
in
a
meetings
four
nights
a
week
and
he
could
buy
all
the
treatment
centers
and
you
can
buy
all
the
counselors
and
all
the
psychiatrist
in
city
sits
in
a
meeting
party
does
that
what
did
you
do
anything
beats
me
this
is
because
he
just
coverage
now
homeless
and
that's
the
only
way
to
stay
comfortable
is
that
all
of
us
are
born
as
human
beings
we
all
have
emotions
we
grow
up
we
have
conflicts
of
we
have
to
fight
through
the
processes
we
discover
things
we
can't
do
things
we
can
do
it
that's
called
maturing
that's
called
the
maturing
process
and
some
of
us
along
the
way
discover
something
very
fortunate
seems
I
can
take
a
few
drinks
to
get
away
if
those
conflicts
I
can
get
a
few
weeks
and
run
away
from
those
problems
I
could
do
a
lot
of
things
and
it's
great
and
I
really
get
away
from
and
there's
a
school
of
thought
that
says
this
happens
to
alcoholics
that
you're
maturing
process
slows
down
and
may
even
stop
when
alcohol
begins
to
work
what
is
the
biggest
difference
but
all
of
a
sudden
I
you're
drinking
you
get
away
from
life
now
you're
gonna
get
sober
okay
I've
had
enough
and
then
you
discover
sobriety
is
very
unpleasant
because
the
one
thing
you
never
realize
this
gonna
body
gonna
brain
grown
abilities
grown
up
strength
and
all
without
you
being
aware
of
it
at
the
intermission
back
in
call
of
childish
emotions
we
call
them
alcoholic
you
motions
because
that
sounds
better
but
the
trash
wash
water
alcohol
emotions
I
hate
you
I
love
you
my
guy
that
median
mark
China's
going
to
change
although
he
motioned
stop
at
a
school
grown
for
about
twenty
minutes
and
he
said
it
it
really
is
kind
of
bad
and
eventually
you
have
to
drink
there
is
no
place
outside
of
these
rules
that
wouldn't
imagine
that
there
are
people
who
drink
to
forget
their
drinking
that's
right
well
this
is
the
only
smart
thing
you
should
set
your
problem
is
not
really
alcohol
and
you're
right
I
feel
is
he
said
you're
probably
something
that
sounds
like
alcohol
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
it
which
is
why
about
ninety
five
percent
of
alcoholic
still
backdrop
it
is
something
called
alcoholism
as
our
cheeses
Bob
save
that
child
issues
for
people
who
don't
know
any
better
intelligent
manner
maybe
done
up
in
intelligence
that's
ridiculous
alcohol
alcohol
drugs
anything
should
not
the
same
thing
an
alcohol
problem
is
overcome
by
stopping
drinking
and
cleaning
up
your
act
and
all
of
us
have
tried
that
a
lot
but
in
this
strange
thing
called
alcoholism
which
unfortunately
for
you
and
me
looks
exactly
the
same
to
the
naked
eye
this
mind
consuming
perception
distorting
bodily
eroding
thing
called
alcohol's
you'll
discover
that
stopping
drinking
has
no
significant
long
term
effect
on
your
life
other
to
gradually
make
it
so
painful
you
can't
stand
some
doctors
say
that
alcoholics
have
to
drink
to
preserve
their
sanity
sometimes
and
then
you
drink
until
it
gets
out
of
control
and
then
you
have
to
stop
you
stop
to
you
have
to
drink
then
you
drink
do
you
have
to
stop
but
the
one
that
you
always
know
I'm
not
really
an
alcoholic
because
alcohol
wasn't
really
the
problem
it's
all
these
other
things
they
don't
understand
cheesiest
pop
that's
me
he
said
there's
a
name
for
people
like
you
what
is
appalled
he
said
you're
an
alcoholic
and
I
said
well
I'll
be
damned
I
just
spent
ten
years
of
my
life
and
giving
up
everything
I
had
because
I
could
not
find
the
definition
alcoholic
I
took
the
self
definition
people
given
digital
Teladoc
about
it
just
means
an
untenable
sobriety
coupled
with
an
untenable
drinking
and
your
card
in
a
cul
de
sac
there's
No
Way
Out
and
I'll
tell
you
that
it
changed
my
life
because
I'm
I
didn't
become
wonderful
after
that
but
at
least
I
knew
it
was
wrong
I
had
some
basis
but
then
I
had
the
problem
later
today
I
wanna
tell
Bob
you
know
Bob
if
I
recall
could
have
taken
steps
to
yes
but
I
can't
return
to
god
I
can
not
return
we
got
a
call
what
you
want
to
and
he
said
well
kid
there's
nothing
in
asus
you
have
to
return
to
god
will
return
to
a
power
greater
than
myself
the
food
people
doesn't
fool
me
just
doesn't
say
that
there's
nothing
in
aid
that
ever
ask
you
to
return
to
anything
you
come
to
believe
in
something
as
our
slogan
of
this
model
commission
came
to
believe
you
come
to
believe
that
something
can't
you
come
to
believe
in
god
I
don't
know
can
you
believe
it
no
just
you
think
I'm
doing
better
than
you
are
yeah
congratulations
on
your
new
higher
power
and
he
became
my
higher
power
a
lot
of
people
after
that's
it
the
best
protection
sponsors
gogue
I
know
but
I
trusted
him
I
had
a
feeling
that
he
knew
how
I
felt
that's
the
great
thing
about
that
meeting
yesterday
on
this
singleness
of
purpose
identification
that's
what
makes
a
work
when
you
can
believe
someone
knows
how
you
feel
you
then
can
do
details
here
but
after
then
it's
just
information
from
someone
who
doesn't
understand
either
but
I
did
things
for
him
that
I
would
have
done
for
my
father
it
would
have
been
for
my
employer
would
have
nothing
I
just
did
stupid
little
things
and
actions
made
amends
to
move
things
and
little
by
little
over
a
period
of
time
my
perception
change
in
one
day
but
then
he
died
I
come
to
believe
in
days
while
her
power
but
I
got
a
new
sponsor
who
is
very
very
spiritual
man
not
religious
members
spiritual
man
he
lead
me
into
believing
finding
that
maybe
god
existed
maybe
god
did
not
hate
but
maybe
god
loves
me
and
maybe
god's
grace
did
not
just
fall
on
certain
good
people
but
it
fell
on
everybody
because
if
it
doesn't
fall
in
everybody
it
doesn't
fall
and
nobody
and
we
all
have
god's
grace
it
was
up
to
me
to
somehow
open
the
doors
of
some
of
that
grace
can
get
into
me
and
that's
the
problem
that's
a
hard
thing
remember
you
know
I
have
a
different
situation
most
of
you
Thursday
morning
before
I
came
down
here
I
just
had
to
stop
my
work
that
is
what
I
always
do
I
parked
in
the
parking
lot
they
came
out
and
I
stepped
over
the
bodies
of
dying
men
and
women
to
get
to
my
office
okay
I
want
to
get
my
car
you
know
step
of
the
bodies
of
dying
many
women
die
from
alcoholism
drug
addiction
you
might
say
well
why
don't
you
help
these
people
and
I've
been
on
the
phone
was
thirty
years
trying
to
help
these
people
but
there's
a
reason
why
many
of
going
to
dine
that
sidewalk
it's
the
same
reason
people
die
in
Naples
in
mansions
and
people
die
in
Chicago
all
over
it
boils
down
to
this
they
are
unwilling
to
take
actions
they
don't
agree
with
that
is
exactly
what
it
boils
down
to
because
once
you
begin
just
take
the
actions
here
things
seem
to
change
but
that
requires
a
surrender
this
very
hard
to
make
I
don't
know
how
I'm
so
fortune
happen
to
me
but
little
by
little
I
came
to
believe
in
a
god
I
remember
praying
frightening
and
always
said
begin
to
realize
there's
not
to
be
afraid
of
going
back
to
Wisconsin
take
my
mother
to
church
years
later
and
sitting
that
Norwegian
church
thing
what
was
I
afraid
of
these
people
in
this
church
our
freedom
but
I'm
not
the
same
gods
in
my
media
west
LA
that's
a
great
feeling
as
a
result
of
that
response
she
was
able
to
take
me
through
the
steps
and
that
changed
my
life
little
by
little
I
didn't
do
do
happen
here
I
didn't
very
begrudgingly
but
that's
the
purpose
of
sponsorship
to
me
I
think
the
most
important
thing
that
I
know
of
an
eight
is
to
have
a
sponsor
and
to
be
a
sponsor
you
can't
a
few
years
ago
a
guy
sponsor
came
to
mean
and
he's
got
to
put
the
flag
on
the
moon
and
he
said
you
know
the
Russian
government's
having
a
special
meeting
in
the
the
Russian
consulate
in
Leon
all
the
astronauts
are
invited
Russian
American
and
I
can
bring
a
guest
on
the
S.
S.
T.
but
my
wife
and
I
are
divorced
and
my
children
around
who
could
I
possibly
take
I
don't
want
to
see
him
go
there
alone
sure
we
have
the
S.
S.
T.
in
New
York
if
you're
going
to
be
S.
as
T.
prison
long
narrow
plain
to
see
see
the
sad
reflection
on
the
of
the
cabin
there's
a
clock
written
one
arm
clock
can
you
take
off
and
go
to
three
o'clock
in
his
circle
New
York
then
as
you
get
over
the
ocean
starts
to
move
around
it
gets
back
to
twelve
you're
not
the
speed
of
sound
and
it
keeps
going
and
you
have
very
high
and
you
kiss
scary
and
but
the
treat
you
well
then
you
it's
great
to
be
a
land
use
I
hope
you
get
good
breaks
in
the
suburbs
could
be
in
Belgium
the
date
we
do
the
same
thing
they
reversed
the
thrust
of
the
gesture
that
we
do
in
fort
Myers
they
reversed
the
thrust
of
the
jets
they
just
take
the
same
judge
that
push
it
this
way
and
stop
harassing
to
me
that's
a
great
help
of
sponsors
the
same
pain
that
makes
it
imperative
for
alcoholics
have
to
drink
if
I
can
allow
someone
to
change
the
thrust
of
that
pain
I
think
it
can
be
used
to
get
me
to
take
actions
I
would
never
take
on
my
own
for
in
five
thousand
years
and
little
by
little
that
those
actions
take
place
and
it's
just
it
is
a
L.
it's
a
change
in
life
you
don't
one
of
the
problems
I
had
one
of
the
problems
most
new
people
have
is
this
a
while
okay
okay
Asian
is
nice
why
does
it
work
you
see
what
you
can
read
up
to
five
no
I
don't
see
how
does
it
work
I
see
why
does
it
work
that's
the
question
I
used
to
have
my
my
why
do
you
say
a
word
tell
me
that
maybe
I'll
do
it
and
there's
no
answer
that
in
the
seventeen
hundreds
the
worst
illness
in
the
world
or
smallpox
just
take
over
cities
that
I
have
a
book
called
bring
out
your
dead
with
the
print
the
cards
going
to
Philadelphia
people
bring
up
your
mothers
and
daughters
and
children
did
throw
me
the
car
Jesus
of
sand
no
way
to
stop
it
nobody
knows
what
causes
no
knowledge

Houston
and
in
England
the
young
doctor
noticed
that
there
was
he
was
interested
that
she
does
one
group
of
girls
never
got
smallpox
the
girls
that
did
the
same
things
they
did
got
smallpox
with
these
group
didn't
girl
to
milk
cows
did
not
give
a
small
some
of
the
girls
did
and
we
talk
to
each
other
they
found
out
the
girls
the
girls
who
had
something
called
cow
pox
which
was
a
minor
disease
never
got
smallpox
but
L.
all
the
other
call
girls
hit
and
to
me
that
somehow
it
must
be
something
mistake
but
if
you
get
caught
but
she
won't
get
smallpox
I
need
to
order
a
classic
or
classic
experiments
of
all
time
the
border
boarding
Jimmy
Phillips
nine
years
old
and
from
his
parents
he
took
a
gun
with
the
girls
had
called
parks
I
need
a
hundred
and
that's
where
bacteria
just
use
what
he
did
was
already
cut
a
little
slit
in
the
kid's
arm
he
took
some
possum
blood
of
the
people
that
had
called
box
and
rubbed
the
kid's
arm
and
he
got
sick
and
got
better
I
need
to
know
where
they're
dying
of
smallpox
and
Carson
Armistead
took
a
stick
with
the
blood
and
possibly
dying
people
and
rub
it
in
our
kids
are
going
to
get
sick
and
get
better
and
that
day
they
discovered
how
to
keep
from
getting
smallpox
you
get
caught
parks
in
fact
usually
interesting
thing
the
word
for
calling
Latin
is
Vargas
that's
what
Vargas
vaccination
means
injection
of
the
call
but
after
that
a
lot
of
people
still
would
you
mean
to
get
six
I
won't
get
sick
that's
nonsense
a
lot
of
people
have
died
of
smallpox
some
people
did
but
some
people
did
and
was
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
years
they
finally
discovered
that
small
box
sets
up
a
series
of
devices
to
cancel
effective
smallpox
virus
and
then
they
knew
why
but
they
had
to
take
it
on
faith
for
a
hundred
fifty
years
doesn't
matter
I
think
somebody
will
do
that
alcohols
maybe
a
hundred
years
now
some
science
crazed
scientist
clubs
lavoratori
che
I've
got
the
answer
I
found
the
answer
it
turns
out
the
twelve
actions
take
it
under
a
series
of
dictatorial
leadership
such
a
trace
of
endorphins
in
the
upper
cerebral
cortex
that
makes
it
a
nation
under
certain
drink
alcohol
because
doctor
wonderful
wonderful
going
to
be
too
late
for
us
crash
we'll
all
be
dead
but
we
can
so
weird
but
we
have
to
do
each
other
not
to
newcomers
on
a
continuing
basis
we
shop
to
keep
don't
take
to
smallpox
take
the
damn
smallpox
do
it
because
the
actions
here
are
what
make
the
difference
take
the
actions
here
because
it
turns
out
alcoholics
launch
of
your
new
is
not
designed
to
make
you
more
and
more
dry
and
I've
been
sober
almost
forty
five
years
at
burst
in
flames
spontaneously
the
purpose
of
H.
two
very
slowly
do
what
alcohol
did
fast
too
little
by
little
change
my
perception
of
reality
to
change
my
relationship
to
the
world
around
me
to
enable
me
to
live
with
some
degree
of
dignity
and
peace
and
self
self
respect
and
live
in
a
world
that
I
would
have
sworn
I
could
not
be
live
in
I
don't
know
anything
better
than
that
you
know
when
you're
reading
chapter
five
fridge
reading
the
traditions
of
that
young
man
read
the
wrong
form
the
traditions
but
I
was
hoping
to
get
to
the
end
because
the
reason
for
all
of
this
is
the
last
the
last
phrase
along
from
the
traditions
why
should
we
do
these
things
why
should
we
continue
to
stay
here
why
should
we
continue
go
to
meeting
so
we
don't
get
this
far
weird
keep
going
back
and
going
back
why
we
do
these
things
and
the
last
race
of
the
run
for
the
division
races
so
well
this
to
the
end
that
are
great
blessing
shall
never
spoil
us
that
we
shall
forever
live
in
thankful
contemplation
of
him
who
presides
over
saw
thank
