Shannon
- Shannon: [about AA] I don't belong there, I'm not like the people there. You guys have no idea what real problems are.
- [everybody laughs]
- Shannon: Why is that so funny?
- Bonnie: Shannon, trust me, no matter what you're going through, somebody here has either done it, or made it worse.
- Shannon: Did you ever lose your child in a custody battle?
- Bonnie: Please, who needs a custody battle? I lost my daughter. Couldn't find her.
- Shannon: Seriously?
- Bonnie: Yeah, I couldn't find her for two years. But we found each other, we're sober now and we love each other.
- Shannon: Have you ever gone to prison?
- Bonnie: Tammy, you want to feel this one?
- Tammy Diffendorf: Seven years hard time for armed robbery.
- Marjorie: I don't want to brag, but I've also done time in prison.
- Tammy Diffendorf: You did soft time.
- Marjorie: Don't tell me what kind of time I did.
- Shannon: My mom kicked me out because she caught me sleeping with her drug dealer.
- Bonnie: Oh yeah, moms are the worst, mine abandoned me.
- Jill Kendall: Mine killed herself.
- Tammy Diffendorf: Mine was murdered by my dad.
- Wendy: I had two moms, but I had to pretend one of them was my sister.
- Marjorie: I have to sit this one out, my mother was an angel.
- Shannon: Have you ever been homeless?
- Marjorie: Ooh, I'm back in. I lived in a box.
- Bonnie: I lived in my car.
- Jill Kendall: I've never lived in anything less than 12,000 square feet, but I still wound up just drinking alone in my closet. Probably wasn't a good idea to have a bar put in there.
- [laughs]
- Shannon: Then what's all this happy crap you guys were doing at the meeting?
- Bonnie: Because, we got better, and you can too.
