This is Josh from An Alcoholic, that sounds a lot less lame when you're saying it to me.

I want to thank the host committee for asking me to speak tonight, specifically Josie and

my friend Tristan.

It really is an honor and privilege to be here tonight as you'll kind of hear this is

a city that I'm more or less hit bottom than before I found sobriety and Seattle is a wonderful

place to do heroin and hit bottom and I really welcome you to ever come here and experience

that and I, I mean, this is an incredible experience for me just to be here sober.

This is the first time I've ever been here sober and that made me nothing to you but it's

an incredible experience for me.

I'd like to thank all my friends who specifically came here to hear me speak which to my knowledge

is nobody but it's always nice to have dreams and kidding aside, I'm actually, I mean,

like it said, I mean, as a result of alcoholics anonymous, I've had the experience of being

surrounded by host of friends and that's also another incredible thing.

If this is your first conference, I want to welcome you, if this is your first experience

to alcoholics anonymous, I want to welcome you.

I have some disappointing information for you, just if you're new to these conferences,

the spiritual experience is not in anyone's pants.
