Good evening. My name's Kip. I'm an alcoholic.

And I ain't had a drink all day long.

Didn't hurt nobody today. Didn't hurt nobody today

didn't hurt myself

I worked all week and paid my way

my wife is with me tonight

and we're in love with each other

I haven't had to say I'm sorry

almost a week

when I pull into my house

my kids come running out of the house

and they say daddy's home

when I pull into my yard

all the neighbors they wave at me. That might not

mean much to a lot of you, but I'll tell you what, it sure does tickle my mother. I am so

impressed and I'm so honored to be here tonight. I knew about Mar for quite a while. I've been coming to Atlanta with different aspects of Alcoholics Anonymous for quite a few years.

And I've met many, many people who have graduated from Mar and that were in Mar and I've always been impressed by the quality of their sobriety

and the way they carried themselves.

I think there was something special going on here.
