Being Charlie Page #3

Yeah, Joe failed.

He failed to see

his disease for what it is.

I guess for some people,

it takes a while.

They lose sight

of why they're here.

Near as I could figure it out,

it's because i...

- I fight and f*** too much.

I think it's

a little more than that.

I could put a bug

so far up your ass

you wouldn't know

whether to take a sh*t

- or wind your wristwatch.

- Okay, that's enough.

What is it with you

and that stupid movie?

I don't want to break up

the meeting or nothing,

but she's something of a c*nt,

ain't she, doctor?

- Language.

- I'd like to break that f***ing DVD.

If you break that DVD,

we're down to "the notebook"

and "cars 2."

People, enough.

Look, I know this is

an open forum,

but can we please keep it

to the parameters

of acceptance, solution,

and commitment?

Dylan.

Yeah, so in the spirit

of the open forum,

I was wondering

why a myriad of web domains

are blocked

in the computer room.

You mean porn?

No.

No, I was referring

to certain destinations

within

the political blogosphere.

There's an outpouring

of stimulating

and thought-provoking material

that we're being

denied access to.

The only outpouring

you're interested in

is gonna wind up getting stuck

to the f***ing keyboard.

Okay, guys, the rules

of the computer room

are not relevant right now.

What is relevant is acceptance.

That's what your recovery

is all about,

having the Serenity to accept

the things we cannot change.

Joining us today,

we have Charlie mills.

- Charlie.

- Hi, Charlie.

Is there anything

that you'd like

to share with us today, Charlie?

No.

No?

Okay, Charlie.

Well, just know

that if you continue

to refuse to accept

the disease that put you here,

you will continue to be

a repeat offender.

Don't you mean repeat customer?

You have a disease, Charlie.

We all do, all right?

And acceptance is the first step

towards controlling...

you know, you're right.

I do have a disease.

It's this place, okay?

It makes you feel

like a f***ing leper,

and then when you get out,

everyone's expecting you

to f*** up again,

so you start using.

And then it's like

you hold our heads underwater,

but then come down on us

for trying to come up for air.

Sobriety is your breath

of fresh air.

It's your ticket out,

and it's priceless.

Priceless? Really?

What's the entrance fee

to this place nowadays, 20k?

You're no better than the guy

on the corner, okay,

but you're not slinging dope.

You're slinging false hope

and Serenity,

and you got everybody hooked.

Doctors, parents,

teachers, lawyers,

even the judges,

and we're paying

out the f***ing nose for it.

You think I do this
