Hi, family. My name is Alice, and I'm a grateful, grateful member of Alcoholics Anonymous.

and talk about the friendship with Teresa. We're both bumping in the dark man bumping in the dark

I'm a super duper introvert. And we didn't never go back to live meetings. I'd be okay with that,

joined you here, T.

So when Ali reached out to me to do this, it's always an honor.

It really is.

And my prayer since he and I text earlier today has been that God remove me, get me out of the way, and allow me to crack myself open, right, for you
