I don't know when it's going to be around again, but I was able to go see it with one of my friends in AA. And it was all alcoholics in the theater the in the theater and just picture regular playing manhattan and it was all about his story from the beginning to the end and people getting sober people having seizures in their house you know putting something in their mouth so they don't but which i i omitted which just kind of skipped my mind but my last that last night when i asked my mother for help um i had had a really bad seizure right before and i bit the little bit little piece of my tongue off so i was bleeding petrusively and when she came in i was you know laying on the ground and when i looked up that's when i asked for help but she thought i was dead maybe shot in the face because it was blood everywhere and um they can't stitch, so it had to heal from the inside out.
