I remember my roommate um was sharing
with me [music] that he had a child in a
different uh country and he hasn't seen
him in 5 years and you know he was
telling me this horror story and I just
remember him going to sleep and me
looking at [music] my daughter's picture
and I'm like this will never happen here
like
>> I just want everyone in the world to
[music] tell her that her dad tried
everything and couldn't stay sober. I
don't think I'll be able to stay sober.
[music] I there's no way based on my
story, based on how I used, based on
everything like that sobriety [music]
meant me. Also, I wasn't necessarily
interested, as I said, in like
>> becoming the guy that like went, [music]
you know, I was told you go to meetings,
you work the steps, you do this, you do
that. And it's like, I'm willing to try
it just cuz I [music] was willing to try
almost everything to feel okay, right?
>> Um,
>> but I didn't I didn't think [music] it
was ever going to be my story. Like if
you would have asked me that, I would
have been like, "Oh, I had a better
chance of being like [music] in Ben
Brock with [laughter]
being a guy in that was
[laughter]
one day." Um, [music] yeah. With AI,
