and now you have to sell your loft
because of me.
No, no. It's just... It's...
It's too big anyway for me.
I'm just... No, I've got, you know,
irons in the fire...
What's wrong with you?
I'm just excited, you know?
I've got a lot of stuff
going on at the moment.
It's really a busy time for me.
Yeah.
Look what I got.
Your watch.
- And it... Yeah?
- Yeah.
All right.
Well, listen, I'm so sorry I couldn't come,
and, you know, have a chance to...
To come get you out, meet you out of there.
Listen, I'm sick.
So maybe don't catch germs from that.
So what did you want to talk to me about?
What's the trouble?
I wanted to know how you stayed sober
for so... Such a long time.
- You just take it one day at a time, you know?
- Yeah?
Easy, easy does it is what we...
You know, you have to wind this or else...
I told you, you have to wind it.
You forgot to hide a
bottle over there, buddy.
I lost the band.
I'm eating crap. I lost the band.
I'm not doing great, okay?
It's been a tough time.
Okay.
I don't have anybody, okay?
I don't either.
Renee, come on!
Renee!
- Hey! Have you guys seen Renee?
- Hey!
- No.
- No.
I've been trying to get
a hold of her all day.
Why, did something happen?
You know, it's nothing.
She just wasn't herself yesterday.
- Did she say anything?
- No.
I'm going to call her.
I'm sure it's fine. I'm going to call her.
Hey! My truck! What the hell?
You have a kid?
Boy or girl?
- Boy or girl?
- A little girl. A girl.
Oh, God!
Look who it is! Yohe!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Check this out, check this out!
This is my new favorite shirt.
I love wearing this thing.
So does that mean that you're...
'Cause you're wearing the shirt,
you're sober 'cause...
Me? No, I mean,
I don't like getting high in your shirt.
So there's some internal conflict going on.
Man. You! You sobriety celebrity you!
Dude, I don't want to talk about this.
Aren't you supposed to be
I'm the last person who should be
telling anyone how to live their lives.
I was in rehab for six months.
I am exactly the... I'm exactly the same.
The thing that people love about you
and your story is that it's honest.
You're sad. Sh*t happens.
You're trying, okay?
Even if it's just a little bit.
Where else you got to go tonight?
I wrote this story for Renee because
the happily ever after.
Now, her story isn't unique,
but she is.
The way she speaks the truth.
The way she sees the world.
And I pray that never changes.
Now, Renee was
supposed to be here tonight.
But she couldn't make it.
But in the spirit of Renee,
we should open it up to you out there.
Now, we've got some friends who are
going to be bringing microphones around.
They're going to bring
them down the aisles.
Let's stand up and tell our story.
Go ahead.
The first time I ever thought about suicide
was around the same time
Two weeks ago,
I did a search for ways to end it
and I found the To Write Love site.
I read Renee's story.
I wasn't used to hearing
other people hurting.
Her story helped me find hope.
Thank you.
Anybody else?
Hi.
Hello.
That was...
Thank you.
I'm not sure what to say,
but my friends are here
and I know they're worried about me.
They think I'm better, and I'm not.
But I think that's okay,
'cause I have them.
Secrets make you sick.
Somebody that I love told me that
and it's true.
'Cause when I finally
asked for help, I got it.
And when my friend asked me for help,
I just...
I didn't give it to him.
I think what this whole thing is about
is what I'm going to go do
right now. So thanks.
Thank you.
Anybody else?
McKenna?
Clever. Clever.
Conrad said I should ask you about that.
My father put me in prison.
Well, selling a shitload of cocaine
put me in prison,
I think he knew
it was the only way I'd get clean.
And I hated him for it, I hated him for it.
And I told him in a letter.
And in return, he sends me this.
I never knew why he didn't drink,
and, well, it turns out,
"Like father, like son."
He died while I was in there.
So "James Terrance McKenna."
So I guess
that's all your questions answered.
I'm sorry.
- It's all right. It was a while ago.
- No.
I'm sorry I left you.
I called Conrad.
You did?
Yep. Asked him if he had
any room at the inn.
I told him I'd prefer to get sober
in an all-girls facility.
We all wake to the human condition.
We wake to mystery and beauty,
but also to tragedy and loss.
Millions of people know
that pain is very real.
We also know that hope is real.
When Renee came to us,
we became her hospital, her church.
Coming alive to meet her needs,
to write love on her arms.
Rescue is possible.
God is still in the business of redemption.
The first step to recovery
is the hardest to take.
But it's worth it.
Hi, I'm Jamie Tworkowski,
founder of To Write Love on Her Arms.
Millions of people around the world
struggle with depression, addiction,
self-injury and suicide.
There's a stigma that
if you struggle with these things,
you're not supposed to talk about it.
But I'm here on behalf of people
literally choosing to stay alive
and choosing to believe
that life can change.
If you're struggling, or if there's
someone you're concerned about,
please know you're not alone.
It's okay to be honest
and it's okay to ask for help.
You are living a story, and it's our hope that
you will never give up on that story.
To Write Love on Her
We respond to every single message
that comes in,
and there are more ways than ever
to get involved.
I called you from the hospital
You didn't pick up the phone
I was left alone
with the crazy fishes
Swimmin' in their senseless circle
All of us together
Smashing our faces in the glass
This repetition's definition
could be insanity
But flip a switch
and check the sky as I go
Just gotta keep trying
Had to keep trying
I had said that I'd be better
Told you I'd never fall again
Countless times
and you believed me
But I let you down again
I'm not asking you to answer
I can tell this is the end
So I'm goin' to leave you at the tone
I know that I won't spend
my whole life in a cell
I will keep fighting
and so be righting myself
One foot right in front
of the other as they say
Even when it's dismal
I'm guaranteed change
I had said that I'd be better
Told you I'd never fall again
Countless times
and you believed me
But I let you down again
I'm not asking you to answer
I can tell this is the end
So I'm goin' to leave you at the tone
Goin' to leave you
Got to leave you at the tone
Goin' to leave you
Got to leave you at the tone
Goin' to leave you
Got to leave you at the tone
Goin' to leave you
I had said that I'd be better
I told you I'd never fall again
Countless times
and you believed me
But I let you down again
