My name's Chris.

I'm an alcoholic.

My sobriety dates February 5, 1987.

My home group is the West Portland group in Portland, Oregon.

Very grateful to be sober and very grateful to be

asked to do something like this. I don't know if anybody will get anything out of anything I have to say,

but I know that whenever I do this, when I share honestly about myself, share my experiences with the idea

of maybe helping somebody

else that I enlarge my spiritual life and I come away with something.

So for that, I'm very, very grateful.

Howard had asked me, he knew, I have a brother that just moved down here and just bought

a house up in Scottsdale.

He plays baseball and was down here for spring training and just bought a house up in Scottsdale. He plays baseball and was down here for spring training,

and just bought a house in Scottsdale.

And some of you might have seen it.

It's kind of a tan stucco house.

But Howard asked if I would talk at his meeting, and so I'm glad to do that.
