Is to talk about steps two and three tonight, and then really get started in inventory,

which is where you're going to learn to lie, I suppose, about what you believe

tomorrow morning and then to spend the rest of the day talking about how to take that information

forward and how to get free of those kinds of things that we're still carrying around.

So let's talk about step two.

When I got sober, they put me down in front of this priest,

which I didn't particularly care for.

I mean, just that he was a priest.

And because I was a German Lutheran, and they didn't have a high opinion of Catholics, and especially priests.

And so when they carried me into this halfway house, they slapped me down in front of this priest.

And he said, are you an alcoholic and I said

yeah and he said are you done that's a very good question incidentally most people can't answer

it because they don't know but it's a good question and I said I don't know if I'm not, I'm probably dead.

And he said, do you want what we have?

And I wanted anything but what I had, so it was sort of moot.

And he said, can you stop drinking?

No.
