My name is Lorna and I'm an alcoholic.

I'm a lot of alcoholic.

And you can already tell I'm a bit of a diva, but I was rather insulted actually when Lynn said she's just an alcoholic like you and me no I'm not so you know I

I heard this thing at a meeting just recently actually and maybe you've heard it. This woman took her son to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and he was rather intrigued and afterwards he said,

Ma, he said, when I grow up, I want to be an alcoholic.

last supper he said, I've longed to eat this meal with you and that's the way I feel I've long to be in Kentucky with you.

This is a real moment in my life and I'm here with my dear friend Peggy Joe who I met centuries ago here and she was the one that

got me to speak at a meeting which was taped and that was fatal.

me so they will have to just muddle through without me.

So I, but also this is a very important crossroad time in my life.
