Thanks, Christopher.

Thanks, Christopher.

My name is Ellie, and I'm an addict.

Hi, Ellie.

I got a new job.

My friend, she's a tenured professor.

She's my age, and she got me it.

But sometimes it's a little hard, because

I should be where she is right now.

But anyway, I'm not supposed to be

thinking about stuff like that, right? So

Uh

Sh*t, I'm really trying, but

I swear to God, I'm trying.

My name's Ellie, and I'm an addict.

Thanks, Ellie.

Thanks, Ellie.

Hey.

Eddie. You weren't at the meeting.

Are you okay? You need anything?

Okay, well, uh

I'll see you at the next meeting, okay?

You take care of yourself.

Do you need anything?

What?

In there. You said that you do pills.

I:

I said I used to.

F*** you.

This is better

than your suburban housewife sh*t.

Ohh!

Come on, Mom. Time to go.

Mom.

I'm up. I'm up, baby.

Just go get ready for school.

I am ready to go to school.

What happened to your head?

I, uh

I:

I tripped while walking to the car.

Can I see?

Okay, well,

it's not as bad as it looks, right?

I don't see anything.

What?

I guess I didn't hurt myself

as bad as I thought.

It was dark.

Okay.

I used to watch this with my mom.

Admit to God, ourselves,

and others our wrongs.

Ready for God to remove

defects of character.

Ask him to remove our shortcomings.

Made a list of harmed

and willing to make amends.

Then make amends.

Be accountable and admit when wrong.

Pray for the knowledge of his will

and the power to carry it out.

Then be awakened through these steps,

and practice them

throughout everything in our lives.

My name is Ellie, and I'm an addict.

Hello.

Hi, Ellie.

I don't deserve this.

Careful. Mug's hot.

Anything else?

No, we're good. Thanks.

Thanks for getting coffee with me.

I:

I don't think I'm the best person

to talk to about this.

You might be the only person

to talk to about this.

I don't know,

I just needed somebody to talk to whose

life is only slightly less screwed up

than mine.

I'm sorry.

No, that's okay.

I mean, I don't know.

I probably wouldn't have

believed you otherwise.

Well, the program works

and people fall.

But you just keep getting up again.

Sometimes you just wish

that there was one thing in the world

that you didn't have to put

all of your effort into controlling.

And that would make all the difference.

Right?

I hope you find it.

That one thing.

Cheers to that, right?

You all right?

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

No, don't be sorry.

Did I get you?

No, I'm fine.

How many did you take?

It's not the pills, baby.

Did you find anything?

Just go get ready for school.

You know, you didn't find any pills.

So maybe that means

She can get them from anywhere, Amy.
