Everything.

Because it has permeated, it has got its tentacles in every single thing.

How am I going to go see a play without a flask in my pocket?

All the things.

How am I going to grieve?

How am I going to mourn?

How am I going to celebrate?

Celebrate was huge for me.

How does that lead to then sobriety?

I read that over the course of like a month and a half, I would go down to McGorlick Park in Brooklyn.

Every evening, I wasn't working at the time.

I had plenty of time on my head.

It was me and my dog, so we had plenty of time.

Go down when the sun was setting and just read part of the book, kind of watch the sun through the trees and sit and breathe.

And it wasn't exactly meditating because I didn't know how, but just kind of being there and feeling the stillness.

And then this dawning awareness of like, oh, this feels really good.

Everything he's saying is true.

Every part of my body is responding to what he's saying in a way that's like beyond my intellect.

doing yoga on these days, eating better, then have plans.

I don't even want to go, go drink three days.
