Oh that's great. One of the things that doesn't get spoken about much at the AA meetings I attend is the pissing and the vomiting which goes with the drinking. I suppose it's too gross to discuss. But a moment's clarity before the first drink should remind us of what happens to our bodies as they try to reject the poison we're putting into them.

Bill C pulls this off well ;-)

Found a Richard Prior skit too, it gets a little more serious about the addiction after 7:00 min point.

EDIT: Just realized this is in the Newcomers section, should definitely be moved to alcoholism or another section.... Café Central would probably be the right place.

This was great. Perfect motivator to keep going !!!!

This was funny! I hope it remains on the Newcomers page.

Taking a comical look at our drunken behavior....isn't all bad.

Okay, I cannot wait to watch these when the 8yo is not around.

Maybe we can sticky a bunch of funny but inspirational videos about this.

I love Cosby's voice when he impersonates the body.

"Slow down the drinking"
"Reverse Gears!"

I DESERVE THIS! I WORKED HARD FOR IT!
