I'm Jason. I'm an alcoholic. Thank you all. Let me do the thank you. First of all, thank

you the committee and the, for asking me to speak. It is not an ordinary privilege. There's

so many people that have volunteered, and raise your hand if you volunteered if you're

on the committee of this ARU or any. It's a lot. It took so many people, so thank you. Thank

you. I also want to thank my friend, Glow, my

Normie friend, for coming to support me today and Richard, the chair of this conference,

Richard and Glow have the pleasure of working our day jobs together and just an honor to

work alongside you, Richard, and just have those little nods in the hallway, because we

don't work with all-sover people. So it's nice to look at Richard and just be like,

fuck, fuck. All right, if you hear nothing else, just know that I love alcoholics, anonymous.

I absolutely love alcoholics, anonymous, and the life that it's given me in a minute. God

is going to take over and I'm going to stop breathing so heavy. It'll all be fine. Or it

won't be fine. It doesn't matter. It'll all be what it's going to be. So let me start

from the beginning. I always want to say, I'm not going to give a big drunk-a-log, but

every speaker that says that then does a drunk-a-log for 45 minutes. Don't say it. So I come

from my mom and dad are met in Sunday school when they were toddlers, so they literally

have no memory without the other one in it, and they're still together. It's weird. I have

an older sister who's lovely, and if you wanted a child, you would like a child like my sister.
