[Bit 1]

It's been 21 months since I had a drink.

That's pretty fucking cool, right?

Hell yeah, hell yeah.

I had to do it cold turkey

'cause I tried to do it like with the AA meetings at first,

but every time I went to an AA meeting,

I needed a fucking drink.

Them people lies be miserable as hell,

you know what I mean?

"God damn, do it already, bitch.

"Everybody gonna miss your ass."

It got to the point where I started going to the meetings

and I just spiked the coffee, you know what I mean?

Get your back to your regular self, you know?

Then it got so bad, I started coming to the meeting

as drunk as hell, you know?

I started coming to the meeting as drunk,

and they would kick me out of the meeting.

And I'm like, "Fuck, you can't keep me out of this AA meeting, man.

I'm crying. This is a fucking cry for help right now, you know?

You can't kick me out of this AA meeting.

This isn't a AA meeting, it's a PTA meeting.
