Good morning.

My name is Jessica Ian.

I am an alcoholic.

Hi guys. I just wanted to start off by thanking the committee for

inviting me. This has been an unbelievable experience so far and I know it's just going to get better.

So I was asked when I was invited to come speak.

Like we were introduced, it's we have bottom two.

So, especially the last week, I really started thinking,

like, what does that mean to me?

And, you know, it's so broad emotionally physically mentally financially

judicially you know I I think that I definitely came to all of, you know, I complete defeat in every single area, but it didn't all come at once.

And the one thing that became really apparent to me was that, you know, there's no true definition of what a bottom is.

It leaves it broad and roomy, so it can include all of us, any of us who come in with an honest desire to not want to

drink anymore.

So I don't, I guess the first thing I want when I I guess I want to bring up is that it says in the 12 and 12.

It talks about hitting bottom and there's no definition of what it is. It just says that we must hit it.
