Hi everybody, my name is Karen, I'm an alcoholic, I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and by the grace

of the loving gods who are working the steps I haven't found it necessary to take a drink

or anything else since December 17, 1988, and for that I'm very grateful.

And I'm very glad to be here.

Thank you for having us.

It's been such a pleasure, we've met so many nice people.

We didn't get in a fight last night, I want to clarify that.

But we saw a great fight, so, you know, we can take that memory back along with all the

other stuff, and you've all just been wonderful.

And the talk last night by Doug was great.

Everything's been great right up until now, so we'll see how things go.

My job this morning is to talk about steps one, two, and three.

I'm also sharing my experience tomorrow morning, so I'm going to try this morning to keep

to the subject at hand, but the only experience I really have to share on anything an alcoholic

synonymous is my own.

So you'll hear quite a bit about me, too, and I hope it's helpful.

I hope this is helpful to someone out there.
