I don't have any magic words to make anybody not want to drink. I can't put it in a bottle and give it to anybody. But I can tell you what I did and that was just keep going to all the things that had other sober people there. It wasn't even about the meeting. It's just being around other people drinking, you know, and who had what I had, who were alcoholics, but they had figured it out.
