Yeah, I got sober a long time ago in Los Angeles. I know, 35, 36 years gone. And I was crazy. I was insane. I was sickened to death, drunk and insane. And I was sentenced to AA meetings. Now I hated them. I hate the damn things. I hated all this...

God stuff. Made me wanna puke. Yeah, move on. Let go of that garland. Surrendered. We know all this. I was a winner then, winner all my life. And but I was fighting all the time. And, um, cut a long story short, I met there was this old man. He was a

priest, a Jesuit priest. His name was Joe Reilly, Father Joe Reilly. And I never forget him as long as I live. And when I tell you I was about to leave the meeting, I was, I had to get the hell out. And he stood in my way. So ever how do

you think you're going? As you get out of my way, so you're not coming anywhere. He looked up into my face, and he had these piercing blue eyes and a cigarette in his mouth. He says, you know, he, he said, you look like to me, he looked like you

must have disgusted, and not to be trusted. And he was right. I wasn't to be trusted by anyone. I'd never trust myself, even. I one day asked him, I said, okay, Father, you know all the, I call him Father, I got a kick out of that. I see, you know all the

answers. You please, mark. I was the shortest, most powerful prayer in the world, cuz I just, I needed quick answers. So I wanted to be it back on the fast track. It was the fastest, most powerful prayer in the world. He's the fastest, most powerful prayer in the world.
