My name is Ted, I'm an alcoholic, I'm really glad to be here, wow thank you, let's see.

So about 13 years ago I spoke at Living Silver at the Bill Graham and the first speaker spoke,

they said we're going to take an intermission and everybody laughed and then nobody came

back in and they said just get up there Ted and start speaking.

I said but nobody's here and so I was having that feeling again when they said they're

going to take an intermission I said oh well I said yes and I'm willing to be of service

maximum what I heard earlier from Eric thank you just to be of service whatever happens

happens so wow I really can't see anybody so that's kind of annoying but I feel like

I just lost my vision so I can see my sister and my brother I really appreciate them

being here tonight yeah my brother is visiting from Oklahoma, Norman Oklahoma and the first

time he's been in to hear me share so there's a little bit of anxiety about that.

My sister is currently eight years sober and has heard me share more than I can believe.

My sponsor Steve is here he's 30 years sober and he came from Honolulu to hear me share

right there always probably on the phone in the hall and so I met Steve in his third meeting

30 years ago and I've been working this steps with him continuously for all that time

and it's been fabulous so I really want to thank Teresa what a gem what a miracle to

see you and to get that call from you that was amazing now the committee and the people
