He was like, what, so I'm not going to be able to toast my daughter's wedding day?

I was like, you don't have a child.

Why are you projecting?

You're projecting 28 years into the future that you're not going to be able to toast your...

not real daughters wedding to stop you from drinking it's crazy the excuses which we make are ridiculous they're fucking batshit aren't they but that's the hold it has on you right and you can let go of that you can and it's like it will happen if you stick with it it's you know

it's been such a magic a really important message to get across yeah never really talked about because it you're so right right like i mean i mean i remember going i'm gonna i'm gonna have to be sober now yes i can't i'm gonna die the next time i drink i know i am like the next time i have a drink or a drug it's the end you know every time i do it it ends exactly the same way yeah you know okay boring life forever that's what i thought yeah okay but then and then i promise you like most weeks of my life

are pretty fucking awesome.

Do you know what I mean?

If I add up the week, I'm like, it's a pretty fucking awesome week.

There's no moment of, oh my God, I'm the king of the world.

But there's also no moments of, I want to kill myself.

So it balances out.

And I'm like, actually, that's a pretty sustained week, which is awesome.

And I have a pretty cool life, which I love every day.

That's a really cool

You don't think about it.

I can tell, man.

I can tell.

It resonates with an amazing message of hope.

And I think so many people will get so much from it.
