Welcome, everyone. My name is Todd and I’m a recovering drug addict. My drug of choice was crack cocaine. I’ve been clean for nine months now…Thank you…Okay, enough. Thank you, Charmagne.

No problem, Todd! You know you’re my boy. Bop bop! You see? Fucking little faggot. But he cool. He cool.

Yes. Thank you, Charmagne. Your enthusiasm is always welcome...Like I was saying, this group is for recovering addicts of all kinds. I know some of you have to be here, and I also know that some of you are here by choice. But we’re all in this together, and that’s the most important thing. We’re not alone. What turned many of us to our addictions in the first place was the idea that we are alone in the world. We’re not.

You believe this shit? Sit closer to me. There you go. You smell good. I ain’t smelled a real man in a long time. Ain’t felt a real man in a long time neither. You married? I see you ain’t got no ring on, but that don’t mean shit.
