Thank you....
I went to a bunch of AA meetings YEARS ago... not for myself, but to support a friend who didn't want to go alone. Her and I went to like 10+ meetings and the stories the people told were COMPLETELY INSANE!!!
One guy I actually remember the day that he was talking about. In North Vancouver where I was living at the time, there was a car that had crashed into a bus stop or something and then kept driving, I can't remember if someone was hurt or not, but there was a high speed chase and it was seen by so many people, I was at Sailor Haggar's pub at the time and heard the tires of a car scream outside.... so I put down my drink and went to go look at the commotion... the cops chased this dude to a nearby apartment and he went to his place, and minutes later, was throwing giant piss jugs down at the cops and people like me watching, I even got sprayed, so gross! Anyways he jumped from the 3rd floor, landed on the grass, and started fighting the cops and was actually winning for a few seconds because he was COVERED in piss. He was at the AA meeting telling everyone about his incident that helped him get sober, and I remember watching him that day fight like 6+ cops and basically dummy a couple of them before they got him on the ground.... after he jumped from the 3rd floor to the ground... after he rained down dozens of piss jugs he had in his apartment.
So many stories of violence, drunk driving, spending literally $100+ per day on booze every day until they were broke and would steal booze... this all was before fentanyl got in all of the drugs, and many people there also were in NA.... because coke and booze go together like peanut butter and jam!
Fuck as a writer, I rather enjoyed listening to people at AA talk about the insanity of a true hardcore alcoholic. There was a woman there who said she put her boyfriend's dog in the oven to teach him a lesson about stealing her booze, and she vividly described the smell of her boyfriend's dog cooking away and the entire building caught on fire because she left it in there for 12+ hours on broil. Like the fucking people I heard from at AA basically were monsters when they would drink. Or the Italian guy who spent 20+ years in jail in Italy for running over fans of another football team just because he was mad at the loss of his team. No idea how he was let into Canada or if his story was true, but that guy had the craziest fucking shifty eyes I've ever seen. My own friend, her problem was that whenever she drank, she needed to mix booze with pills, and then she would go completely incoherent and lose her purse, phone, wake up in strange places, and no matter what she did, if booze touched her lips, she needed xanax I think, or benzos, I can't remember what her poison was. She got clean and the last I checked is now high up in a Canadian bank making 200k+ a year... I used to plow her so hard back when we were partying, good times, good times... but I was happy to be her only friend that would go with her to AA, and I'll never forget the fucking INSANE stories people told...
