I have my ups and downs the same as the rest. It’s no bed of roses, but somehow or other I’ve been able to make it, through the kindness of people in A.A. If something does come along that sort of upsets me, instead of walking in and throwing a buck at the barman and asking for a drink, I walk into a telephone booth, drop a dime in the box, and call somebody who was so kind as to give me his name and telephone number to meet such an emergency. I don’t have any resentments. I had a rough lot, but I don’t worry about that, after hearing the stories of many others.
