I would like to thank everybody that spoke this afternoon.
Now, final order of business.
Next week's cookies.
I've been the only person buying cookies for the last three or four weeks.
And it might be nice if somebody else decided to step up and buy a batch.
Aw, come on, guys.
- It's part of the deal. - Hi, I'm Adam, and I'm an alcoholic.
GROUP: Hi, Adam.
- Um - Hi, Adam.
I've been sober since I was 17.
Um
I knew I had a problem pretty early on,
and I dealt with it because I didn't want to wait and I knew it would just get worse.
I felt pretty solid after I stopped drinking.
I stopped coming to as many meetings, but lately, I haven't felt so solid anymore, so
I had this girlfriend who at first I didn't like very much.
Or I didn't take her very seriously, I guess.
She just seemed like, you know, a piece of ***.
But she was persistent, man.
And she just hung around and hung around, and showed up at my place.
And gradually, it started to feel better when she was there.
It wasn't love the way I imagined it.
I just felt weird if I didn't know what she was up to or whatever.
And I liked knowing that she was just gonna be there and warm and staying the night.
And she acted like I was teaching her everything about *** history, about sex.
She didn't know what street Central Park started on or how to use soap,
and I showed her.
And I wanted that chance to show someone everything.
But she changed her mind about me, and it was that fast.
I'm just so exhausted.
Okay.
And I'll bring cookies.
I don't really like cookies that much, so don't get mad at me if I bring the wrong ***.
Thank you, Adam.
So Adam's bringing the cookies.
