"I'm going to a meeting this evening, and if I stay dry till tomorrow morning, I'm back to one day of sobriety."
"I've got eighty-two days," I said. "The first one's the hard one, and then the rest are hard, too." (22.55-56)
There's something so sad about Karl having to advise his mom's boyfriend about kicking his alcohol addiction. It kind of goes along with the fact that even though the Madmen are the ones that are deemed to need therapy, they still generally have it more together than the adults in their lives.
