I'm Audrey Schi, for a recovered alcoholic.

Hi.

Hello.

Let me just start off.

My God, what an honor it is to get to come and do this.

I just didn't really realize what this was going to feel like.

You know, Julie and I have had the opportunity to speak at some different meetings and do some different things at different places.

And it's always a fun, it's a hoot.

But I tell you, I've got to be always a fun, it's a hoot.

But I tell you, I've got to be honest with you, I was a little overwhelmed by the welcoming that we found here in California.

Julie was on her knees praying in the bathroom, like a good drunk, you know, and I went back

in this cafeteria and just kind of got overwhelmed with gratitude.

And I'm starting to tear up and I'm on my knees.

And I thought, God, somebody's going to walk in and see me.

You know, one of the speakers is losing it, you know.

I was like, you know, trying to pray, but look out of the corner of my eye, make sure y'all

you know, crazy people stuff.
