Good morning.

My name is Eve and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Amy.

And I'm real grateful to be here. I want to thank Bonnie and the rest of the committee. Is this one of those microphones when I move over here? Nobody over here here is anything?

Okay. I want to thank Bonnie for inviting me to come out here and I really have loved every minute of it because to me one of the wonderful things about this convention or conference has been the fact that

you noticed it that it's all been geared to recovery.

There hasn't been a drunkologue anywhere along the line.

It's all been about recovery.

And I think that's absolutely wonderful, but less to be some here who feel that there might be...

I do talk a little bit when I talk about what we were like because I'm sure there are newer people here who still wonder about what we are like.

Because you see that's part of our problem I think from the very beginning and that is we really don't

know who we are and it takes a little time in sobriety to find out who we are because

all during this period of time that we've been drinking we've been trying to drink to prove

something and now we have to try and learn that we don been drinking, we've been trying to drink to prove something, and now we have to try

and learn that we don't have to do that anymore.
