He gave him a standing ovation.

He'd be up here forever. So would I.

I'm Tom and I'm an alcoholic and I'm going to feel trapped by this thing but we'll see what we can do.

Something about Charleston every time we come down here, my stomach starts doing things.

Y'all remember the last time I was down here and it was a stomach.

My doctor, my old doctor told me when I quit drinking I used to go with all kinds of troubles.

I had a bad case of hypochondria when I first got sober.

Any y'all had that yet?

I felt parts of my body I hadn't felt in a long time I mean really and they hurt you know and I went to see my doctor of Bill you know and hits it back and smile

while I told him my troubles and he was so caring, you know, concerned and loving because he would say to me,

I told you if you ever quit drinking you is going to fall apart.

And I guess I'm still falling apart in some sense, but if I have to leave and go to the bathroom, you know, bear with me.

A stomach's kind of churning and see the Charleston water or stress or tension and who cares?

It's just there.

And we're going to try to share anyway
