Histoire
At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does - and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts - some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don't call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child - as they talk about their lives at the meeting
Résumé
As the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting commenced, Jim appeared unusually perturbed. His sponsor urged him to share for the first time in seven months, after which he promptly exited. While Jim traversed the city's familiar haunts seeking solace, the meeting continued. Stories unfolded - Louis' tale of wandering in search of a choir, his denial of alcoholism; Joseph's harrowing account of near-fatal drinking that endangered his child. Each narrative a testament to survival and struggle.
