Remember, it's a hard time. Because when it gets easier and you get all the benefits from AA, the wonderful things start happening, you may forget. But if you have a real hard time, especially in the beginning, the old timers used to say, if you don't want AA, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. They used to say that. I need you. I definitely need you.
