And I honestly thought this was literally awful.

I knew I had to give up drinking, but I just thought I could do another two or three months off drinking.

And then I'll be okay.

And I'll probably be able to get back onto it.

So I went to this AA meeting.

I felt, well, I was like, hi, I'm Roy.

I'm an alcoholic.

I was like, I like cringe.

Like, who are all these people here?

This is like the worst.

Was this in the UK?

It was in the UK.

Yeah.

I went to a newcomers meeting.

It felt like a cross between the Scouts and a churchy cult.

It was honestly, I was looking around, and also because I'd literally had these three months of, three or four months of huge amounts of alcohol, and suddenly I hadn't drunk for three or four days, because it probably took about a week before I went to this meeting, so my head was all over the place.

uh and i thought it was the weirdest strangest place that i'd ever been i didn't get anything i don't think i even read i couldn't take any of it in all the the steps and the the script and the big book it sounded like some wacko yeah like organization like like a cult you know and i thought

I honestly thought I'd do this for a couple of weeks until Lucy gets off my back.

And then I can probably just deal with it myself.

I thought I could do everything myself.
