Katie and Charlie P.: Unlocking the Power of AA's 12 Steps
For our friends from Boston, I say all y 'all is a. But if I could get it, though, if my problems are of everybody else's making, the only way I'm ever going to be okay is if I can get everybody to act right, and I have very little experience in My Years on this planet, I'm getting everybody to act right, right, they just don't act right.
