There but for the grace of the universe, folks. It's all I could think.
Cherish your sobriety friends, no matter if it's 24 minutes, 24 hours, 24 days, 24 months or 24 years. May we never, ever forget where we've been or where we could wind up if we pick up again.
Love you all. Goodnight.

Truly fortunate and blessed are we who have escaped that prison.
