i'm feeling good today a lot better than before i walked in these rooms and that's the truth

let me tell you something i'd like to thank Bob for asking me to speak.

I'd like to give a special thanks to my responsibility

for putting up with me and being there for me through thick and thin.

There's a bunch of people in here, John Z, guys that called me up, you know.

And I was saying to myself, you know, I spoke two weeks ago.

I was saying to myself, they asked me to speak.

It's a little soon. I got the same pitch. I can't challenge my story. I said, you know, what am I going to do? What am I going to say? These people heard me already. And then, you know, I get calls from my friends saying, you know, we're going to show up, we're going to support you and I feel good about it, you know. I got friends like Sarah. Whenever I'm having a bad day, you know, things are really going rough for me. I hear, hello, John Cino, you know.

You know, it's just heartwarming to know that I got people looking out for me.

You know, Billy, our phone call, because I'm not much of a phone person.

It revolves around this. Just thinking about you. That's Billy. Thanks.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Talk to you later.

I got 23 years in the rooms.

My sobriety date is March 29th,

1983.

I'd like to just mention a disclaimer before I say anything else.

Number one, if I disturb anybody by what I have to say, you never know.
