Never had that kind of introduction before.

True story. My name is Bob Malkaholic and only through the grace of a God that I was afraid to believe in

that I've accessed through the 12 steps of alcoholics and animus, good sponsorship and a persistent and consistent commitment to the primary purpose of helping other alcoholics.

I haven't had a drink or any mind or emotional drink substance since October 31, 1978.

For that, I owe you my life and my freedom.

I am delighted to be here. This is, I want to thank Lee and John, especially John, where there you are.

John picked me up at the airport. Ralph and I and I brought us over here.

We've got to hear more about John in the car than we ever imagined. We needed to know.

And this has been a fantastic, I am here with all my heroes.

I am here. Dave, I love Dave. Dave has a sense of humor that is very ill.

And I really like that. I just gravitate to guys like Dave.

And Paulie is one of my dear friends. Paulie and I have done a bunch of stuff together in AA over the years.

After every time I hear Tom, I just want to be a Catholic. I just want to sign up.
