My name is Scott.

I'm from the Bronx, not a lot of cowbell activity in the Bronx.

If your gang told you to wear a cowbell it was a bad sign, just so I just want to tell you

that it was really meant your days are numbered with that particular group.

I haven't smoked a cigarette in, I'm 22 years old since I'm 19 years old, but it's

a wonder to me.

I just have to tell you, if I, when I came in AA, if I couldn't have smoked I think I

would have blown my brains out.

And I can't really be around it for, especially kind of for health reasons right now, but I'm

just amazed.

I'm amazed that a newcomer can get through a meeting without, I was a five cigarette

meeting guy.

I used to drink scalding hot coffee to keep my throat open long enough to get a couple

of cigarettes in.

So if you're new here and God bless you, just let, you know, set fire to the person next

to you and just suck in as much as you can before that's not against the traditions igniting

an alcoholic.
