an alcoholic um my sobriety date is may 28th and 1973, and for that I'm truly grateful.

I'm a little hoarse.

When I come, I live at about 6,000 feet in the mountains,

and when I come down to this elevation, for some reason I start losing my voice.

But we'll get over it at some point I'll adjust um thank you for inviting me could you there are two sessions tonight can you tell me

from when to when where's going seven to 10 is one session.

Is there a break in the middle of it?

Yes, 7 to 10 are break.

Okay, and the break is at 8.30?

Or at 8.15?

It's about 7.10 now.

Two minutes fit on the CD, so I guess I don't sold about 8.30.

Okay. All right.

So I've been sober for a long time, and I'm a member of a group in Englewood, Colorado called the Happy Way group, and I didn't pick the name.

Sounds like a bunch of people on Thorazine.

It just, my group is 50 years old, my home group, and I've been a member of that group for the better, I think, 30 years now.

We are a group that encourages people to go through the steps once a year, and I have, for the most part, been going through the steps once a year.

And I have, for the most part, been going through the steps once a year for 36 years, which

means I start at one and go to 12 and do all the stuff in between.
