I owe everything in my life to the fact that I don't drink anymore, and I am so excited when I hear a conference like yours, where people get up there and they're real. It's like people just sharing this core, you know, just bring it full circle, this core feeling of not belonging and pain and how we managed that and how sick we got and how much better we are now.
