Hi, I'm Christy. I'm an alcoholic.
2
Hi Christy.
3
And today I am this many years sober.
4
I thought this one was hard,
5
but this one lived up to its reputation.
6
There were a lot of really
big challenges this year.
7
Sorry. Sorry.
8
And here's one now
9
- What?
- Just sit down.
10
Anyway, I wanna just say
how grateful I am for all the
11
positive things that have happened.
12
I got a promotion at work.
I went back to school.
13
Got a new place to live.
14
- You're welcome.
- Bite me.
15
And, more important than any of that,
16
my sponsor Marjorie beat cancer.
17
And my friend Regina
18
got an early release from jail.
19
Thanks to Jesus.
20
And prison overcrowding.
21
My sponsee, Jill,
22
successfully completed rehab.
23
Twice.
24
And my ex-husband got a good job
25
that came with a house and a girlfriend,
26
which is great for our son,
27
but fills me with
bitterness and resentment.
28
And then there's my daughter,
29
who is getting married.
30
And... well, let's just say
that could go either way.
31
Best of all, I haven't had a
drink or a drug for two years.
32
And I can't tell you how
much that means to me.
33
To live my life
34
with dignity and self-respect...
35
that's all I've ever wanted.
36
Well, that and a boyfriend.
37
And I'd like to be a finalist on The Voice.
38
And cheat on my boyfriend with Adam Levine.
39
Thank you.
40
Bonnie, everyone else has shared.
41
Would you like to go?
42
Sure, I'll go.
43
Uh, I'm Bonnie, I'm an alcoholic.
44
Hi, Bonnie.
45
Well, let's see...
46
I'm sober 26 days today.
47
Spent the afternoon
48
picking up trash on the freeway,
49
and as far as dignity and self-respect go,
50
you never miss what you didn't have.
51
Thank you.

53
Hey.
54
Hey. Is he ready?
55
Uh, yeah,
56
but we got kind of a situation.
57
It's not fair!
58
I'm not going!
59
What's that about?
60
Well, I don't know how
to put this exactly...
61
I hate it at Mom's!
62
I want to live here!
63
There you go.
64
Are you putting those thoughts in his head?
65
What? No.
66
Swear to God, Baxter,
67
if you're turning my son against me...
68
I'm not doing anything.
69
Then where is this coming from?
70
Well, I hate to say it,
71
but he's feeling kind
of ignored at your place,
72
what with everything going
on with you and your mom.
73
That's ridiculous!
74
He is never ignored!
75
That's not how he sees it.
76
Yeah, well, he's nine years old,
77
what the hell does he know?
78
I'm ten!
79
Hey, buddy, are you ready for bed?
80
You want me to tuck you in?
81
No, just leave me alone.
82
Roscoe, is there anything I
can do to make you feel better?
83
Yeah. Take me back to Dad's.
84
No!
85
You're staying right here
86
with your mother who friggin' loves you!
87
Hey.
88
Where you been?
89
I got a ticket. Can you believe it?
90
What for?
91
Texting while biking.
92
I swear, we live in a police state.
93
Yeah.
94
That's what's wrong with our lives.
95
What's bothering you?
96
My son doesn't want to live here any more.
97
What?
98
He feels ignored.
99
Yeah, I know how that goes.
100
Are you kidding me?
101
All we do in this house
102
is cater to you.
103
What are you talking about?
104
No one caters to me.
105
I'd like to be catered to,
106
but there's no catering.
107
Mom, every day,
108
there's some new drama going on,
109
a new crisis.
110
I'm not saying I'm not colorful.
111
You're a black hole, is what you are!
112
Nothing can exist near you
without getting sucked in!
113
Look who's talking.
114
What about all your crap?
115
I don't have crap, I just have you!
116
I have a big brown mountain of you.
117
Hey, I'm not the one who got us evicted
118
'cause she gambled away all the rent money!
119
Oh, my God!
120
When are you gonna stop going back to that?
121
When it stops making you feel bad.
122
Yeah, well, I feel great.
123
And you know why?
124
Unlike you, I have
125
two years of sobriety!
126
And a valid drivers' license!
127
Yeah?
128
I have no carbon footprint,
129
so suck on that!
130
Are you insane?
131
Yeah, so be careful.
132
You better fix that window
first thing in the morning.
133
- Or what?
- Or...
134
God, I hate you sometimes.
135
Hey, Marjorie, everything okay?
136
What?
137
Oh, my God.
138
- I'll... I'll be right over.
- What happened?
139
Roscoe just showed up at her house.
140
I thought he was in his room.
141
Me, too.
142
Wait, I'm coming with you.
143
It's all right, I got it.
144
But I want to help.
145
You want to help?
146
Change every single thing about yourself.
147
Christy, grab my alarm clock!
148
Where is he?
149
Oh, God, Roscoe, you
scared the hell out of me!
150
I'm fine.
151
You're fine?
152
Do you know what could've happened to you?
153
You could've gotten kidnapped,
154
you could've been hit by a truck,
155
you could've been eaten by coyotes!
156
Christy...
157
coyote is the C word around here.
158
Sorry.
159
Okay, what's going on?
160
Why did you come to Marjorie's?
161
I thought she could help me.
162
Help you do what?
163
I want to live with Dad and Candace
164
and since you won't listen to me,
165
maybe you'd listen to her.
166
Why would I listen to her?
167
'Cause she's your sponsor
168
at the Alcoholics and the Anonymous.
169
Roscoe, why don't you go
watch TV in the other room?
170
Let me talk to your mom.
171
Good luck.
172
Marjorie, I've already
been through this with him.
173
It's not gonna happen.
174
Bless you.
175
Okay, just know that if
you fight him on this,
176
he's gonna resent you.
177
I'm his mother.
178
He's gonna resent me anyway.
179
You want me to put the
cats in another room?
180
It's done.
181
Why not try it for a little while?
182
He's gonna come back.
183
How do you know?
184
'Cause he loves you.
185
He tell you that?
186
We're getting off the point.
187
He's not wrong about you and Bonnie.
188
That house has not been a
happy place for a little boy.
189
A couple of hours ago,
190
I was celebrating two years of sobriety,
191
talking about all the great
things that have happened.
192
Now this.
193
You know, his dad still smokes pot.
194
So did the last three presidents.
195
Try again.
196
Candace's family belongs
to a fancy country club.
197
They have Sunday brunch, play golf, tennis.
198
I'm sorry, are you arguing for or against?
199
Come on! Back me up here,
I'm the loveable underdog!
200
I am backing you up.
201
Right now, this seems like the way to go.
202
How can you say that?
203
'Cause we don't know the end of the story.
204
Yeah, well, in this chapter,
205
the hero needs a drink.
206
What makes you think you're the hero?
207
Hey.
208
Whatcha doing?
209
Pimpin' my ride.
210
You drop Roscoe off?
211
Yep.
212
How'd it go?
213
He was happy, I cried,
214
stupid Candace hugged me,
215
and on the way to my car,
216
I accidentally knocked over her mailbox.
217
Really?
218
It was a tiny replica of her
219
actual house; it needed to be done.
220
You want to go grab a bite to eat?
221
No. I have to pack.
222
What for?
223
I'm moving out.
224
- What?!
- Yeah,
225
I think Roscoe's got the right idea.
226
The road to a happy life
leads away from your mother.
227
You can't be serious. You're gonna blame me
228
'cause your son wants to get away from you?
229
Um... yeah.
230
Christy, wait a minute.
231
You want to point the finger
at somebody, why not Baxter?
232
What did he do?
233
Uh, you know, he got his life together.
234
You think Roscoe would be begging
235
to live in a van under a bridge?
236
The words, when they're
coming out of your mouth,
237
can you smell them?
238
Can you get a whiff of that barnyard odor?
239
Okay, fine, where you gonna go?
240
Jill said I could stay with her and Regina
241
while I look for an apartment.
242
There are apartments in this building.
243
There are apartments in this building.
244
Wow, you really took a lot of drugs.
245
No! I am putting my foot down.
246
You are not leaving.
247
Can't stop me, Mom.
248
We'll see about that.
249
Really?
250
Yeah, I didn't think it through.
251
I appreciate you letting
me stay her for a few days.
252
Oh, believe me, I am so happy you're here.
253
We can go shopping together,
254
get our nails done.
255
You know, fun girl stuff.
256
Oh, that sounds amazing.
257
You know what's amazing? Jesus.
258
Here we go.
259
Christy, there's a hole in your heart.
260
And what's gonna fill it?
Spending Jill's money,
261
or spending time with God?
262
Well,
263
I'd be happy to give both a try.
264
It's a big hole.
265
Regina, can we please just
266
give the religion thing
a break for just one day?
267
The religion thing?
268
Is that what we call the miracle
269
that saved me when I was in prison?
270
No.
271
Is that what we call the eternal salvation
272
that's ours for the asking?
273
No. Is that what we call
the Kingdom of Heaven
274
that surrounds us but
we're too blind to see?
275
Oh, come on!
276
Why can't the Kingdom of Heaven
be Saks Fifth Avenue
277
Help me out here.
278
Ll, it would be nice to g pedicure,
279
so I could wear sandals.
280
That's what your soul needs... sandals?
281
It is what Jesus wore.
282
We need to pray.
283
- Do we really?
- Yeah,
284
the Voice is on.
285
Now.
286
Okay.
287
Heavenly Father, I want to thank You
288
for entrusting me with bringing Your words
289
to those who cannot hear them.
290
Help them seek comfort in You
291
and not material things.
292
She prays the fun out of everything.
293
And thank You for bringing
Christy under our roof
294
so that I can usher her
into the warm embrace
295
of Your everlasting love.
296
Run!
297
It's a foldout couch, so...
298
I'm not sure how comfortable it is.
299
Oh, it's fine, thanks.
300
Really appreciate it.
301
I'll go get some sheets and blankets.
302
Oh, no, no, I'll-I'll do
it, y-you talk to your mom.
303
No, no, I got it.
304
We'll be right back.
305
Look, how long
306
- are we stuck with her?
- I don't know... until she
307
- gets her life together.
- Oh. So, forever.
308
What are you doing?
309
Smoking a joint.
310
You can't smoke a joint
with her here, she's in recovery.
311
Really? I got to
live with you and your mother
312
and I can't get high?
313
Hi, Bonnie. Cute hat.
314
Yeah, thanks.
315
Tell Christy I want to talk to her.
316
Oh, she's not here.
317
She decided to stay at her daughter's.
318
Aw, damn.
319
That's two hills and a freeway.
320
You want to come in and
pray with me and Regina?
321
No, thanks.
322
Somebody always gets
under-served in a three-way.
323
Please take me with you.
324
All comfy?
325
Yeah. Thanks, Marjorie.
326
I really appreciate this.
327
You're always welcome here.
328
Sweet dreams.
329
Marjorie, are you coming back to bed?
330
Be right there, Victor.
331
Oh, God, you didn't say you had company.
332
It's okay, you're not bothering us.
333
You're bothering me.
334
He's just kidding. Come on, Victor.
335
Not kidding.
336
Does this mean we can't make love?
337
Of course we can, just have to be quiet.
338
Yeah, this isn't gonna work.
339
Oh, God, the big one.
340
Is my daughter here?
341
- No, she left.
- Oh. You know where she went?
342
- I do not.
- Who's sleeping on the couch?
343
Me.
344
Oh.
345
Well, welcome to the family.
346
I guess we both knew this day would come.
347
Nope.
348
- You'll be back.
- Nope.
349
God help me, I want a cat.
350
Hey.
351
Hello.
352
Where were you?
353
I went out for a little evening bike ride.
354
What brings you by?
355
I've decided to forgive you.
356
Really? How far back we going?
357
I don't know, Mom. 'Cause I really think
358
high school's where we went off the rails.
359
Fine, whatever.
360
I also wanted to apologize.
361
It's not your fault about Roscoe.
362
Him not wanting to be here
363
just broke my heart.
364
And the only way I could deal
with it was by blaming you.
365
I get it.
366
My kid looked me in the eye
367
and he said he didn't want to live with me.
368
Do you have any idea how much that hurts?
369
Actually, I do.
370
I've been trying so hard to be a good mom.
371
And it's just not enough.
372
Oh, baby.
373
I know it's not saying much,
374
but you're a better mother to your children
375
than I ever was to you.
376
You're right, it's not saying much.
377
But... thank you.
378
I guarantee you'll get
another chance with Roscoe.
379
That's what Marjorie said.
380
It's true. How many
chances have you and I had?
381
Oh, God, that's depressing.
382
We'll do it together.
383
We'll make this a great
place for Roscoe to grow up.
384
How?
385
He's got a dog over there
386
and a pool and a stepmom
who doesn't work two jobs.
387
Uh... you ever think
about having another kid?
388
Kidding.
389
We'll figure it out.
390
I hope so.
391
Hey, on the bright side,
392
I think Violet might be coming back.
393
Oh, that might be my fault, too.
