If my mind isn't treated in a dramatic way through these 12 steps, like an entire psychic change, if the mind that came to AA five years ago wasn't changed, if those obsessions that gnawed on me... You know, that's why it's so hard for me to talk to new people sometimes, because I know that that obsession is on them and it's just gnawing at them almost every day, because I was that way when I came to treatment. And the idea that you can tell someone that that can literally be removed and that you don't ever have to suffer from that obsession, that gnawing obsession that's just on your back ever again. That was like a dream to me.
