I'm brand new to the program - 4 days in.

To be fearless and thorough from the very start. what part of this does your newcomer ass not understand? That long face about why the meeting didn't work doesn't move me. I am quick to wipe my hands with a lazy one. We don't need nor should we be pampering anyone interested in sobering up permenently.
