Thank you very much, Bob. My name is Cece Corgal, and I’m an alcoholic. And I want to thank you for inviting me back. Because I can remember the time in my life where I wasn’t invited the first time. It’s a little difficult to be invited back if you’re never invited the first time. I was certainly never invited to speak the first or the second time. But to be invited back to speak’s a real privilege, and I’m glad to be back to Sessions by the Sea, and I appreciate it very much. I’m very grateful to be here because Bob met me at the airport. And I mean, any man that has lived, uh, this many years in this area, and I had to tell him which road to take, you can understand why I’m grateful to be here. Very good friend of mine by the name of, uh, Jack Senon is speaking at Dana, Saskatchewan, Canada tonight. Now, you don’t know Jack Senon. You probably don’t know where Dana, Saskatchewan, Canada is. That really doesn’t matter.

But he promised me if I’d mention his name down here, he’d mention mine up there. And I should say there’s one little gal in the audience by the name of Linda who just came up to speak to me, and her dad, George, who’s now gone to the Greater Roundup, he was one of the first AAs in our province, moved down here, and Linda’s sober seven years, and she was up here to talk to me, so she knows what I’m talking about. When Bob met me, we were discussing Sessions by the Sea. And he was telling me that you had to turn some people away and, and that’s, you know, kind of sad, but, but it just shows that you’ve got something good that’s really going good, so keep it going that way. And I mentioned to Bob that the only thing that could destroy this thing is ignorance and apathy. You know, ignorance of what we belong to, this great thing called Alcoholics Anonymous. And Rod talked last night about, uh, complacency. Well, I, I don’t even mean complacency. I mean something worse than that, apathy.

And I asked Bob what he thought about that, and he said he didn’t know and he didn’t care. And, uh, our trip went downhill from there. Uh, Carl was up here talking about golf. I love to golf. And, uh, I’ve been watching the committee, you know, get along really well. And I’m sure you’ve had a few fights, but you’ve, you’ve hidden them well. And it’s very, very, very important that we get along real well with our fellow man. It tells us that in our traditions. And that reminded me of a story. It didn’t really. I intended to tell it all along, but.. A story of a golfer that had had a lousy day, and he was out there, and he was just sitting in the clubhouse all by himself, and he said, “Oh, God.” And a voice came down and said, “Yeah? What’s trouble?” And he said, “Well, I just can’t putt.” And God said, “Well, when you’re out tomorrow, just relax a little bit more. Keep your head down. Swing the old putter.
