0:33.0	naked life story to share with you that has some ups and downs and I think you really
0:37.5	enjoy it. So we will get started with Terrence.
0:40.8	Yeah, this is great to be on here. I'm trying to think of where to start. I guess the beginning
0:50.6	is probably the sensible place. Like a lot of us, I have a pretty epic saga of drinking, but
1:03.8	it started when I was a freshman in high school and the party I was at was this huge house in

3:01.6	poor kids. I grew up in the house that no one wanted to visit. My mom was a she struggled very

3:17.2	as cheers will have you believe. But yeah, I didn't have a dad. I didn't really have any family
3:24.0	besides my mom and my brother who he had his own addiction issues. So he with alcohol as well.
