I said at this meeting, whatever meeting it was, I still like the effects of alcohol. Now, I know I can't drink. I don't want to drink. I know the damage it brings. But that feeling that I get from alcohol, yeah, I still like that. It still wants to tell me that that's what it feels like. And that's why if I don't work my program, I will absolutely be in danger of drinking again.
