Hi everybody, I'm Medi-Alcoholic and welcome anybody who's new to Alcoholics Anonymous.

Thank you for inviting me, thank you for your kindness, especially thank Mark for asking

me to come up here and speak because he is one courageous guy.

maybe he's got family in Las Vegas, he's going to go to a kids party so I went to a party
