Hi, I'm Mary Betham and Alcoholic.

It says in the family afterwards in our big book, it says we do not relate intimate experiences

of another person unless we are sure he would approve, but I might just do that anyway.

Since Chris opened the door, it's funny that he did mention the phone because today the phone,

the phone rang in our house and I heard my cell phone and I heard it ringing and I'm like,

God, that's weird, I have a trumpet sound on my cell phone, I wired it to a trumpet sound,

I really like that.

And I had one of my sponsors on the other phone and I said, you know, I said, I think that there's,

oh, I know, I said, I didn't hear my cell phone when you called because it had a different sound

and I said, wait, come to think of it.

Yesterday, Chris said, I didn't like the sound of my cell phone, I bet he changed it.

So we were laughing, I don't know if he did or didn't, but it was a completely different sound

and I thought I bet that little rascal changed my cell phone ring, no?

So, but anyway, I was thinking about that in relation to tonight because I was thinking,

today I laughed, you know, another year I would have every instinct of the world would have been

threatened, you crossed my boundaries, you did this, you did that, you know, you, I would have

criticized or whatever that I was trained to do from a very early age.
