"Four years is fantastic, well done," Dan said, "and no, that's fine. I much preferred alcohol, but I've done my share of drugs."

"I guess I shouldn't have limited the flyers to just alcohol, huh? I'll edit them. Out in the middle of the 'night' with my sharpies again. But, yeah. Meetings are... they're good to get started.

Sorry, I'm trying to work out how best to put this. The people you meet are the best part. They're what pull me back from walking into a bar and drinking until I hit the floor. I'm hoping to get the same thing going here."
