candy canes so much is

morning in an empty house.

she's in jail again,
but no.

165
00:06:55,284 --> 00:06:58,592
No, no. No, she got into a fight
with Dad of the Week,

00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:19,874
On the way back home,
we stopped at a gas station

175
00:07:19,917 --> 00:07:22,267
where I bought my own
Christmas presents--

176
00:07:22,311 --> 00:07:25,401
two Milky Ways
and a Teen Bopmagazine

177
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,882
with a fold-out poster
of Kirk Cameron.

178
00:07:27,925 --> 00:07:30,754
I believe there was also
a Yoo-hoo involved.

179
00:07:30,798 --> 00:07:32,713
Yes, yes, yes. Yoo-hoo.

180
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,671
Nothing says Christmas
like chocolate milk

181
00:07:34,715 --> 00:07:36,325
that doesn't need
to be refrigerated.

182
00:07:36,368 --> 00:07:38,632
[laughs]

183
00:07:38,675 --> 00:07:41,286
Okay, this has been fun,
but if I'm not asleep

184
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:43,898
when Adam comes home, he'll want
to talk about his day.

185
00:07:43,941 --> 00:07:46,683
Oh. Oh, oh. Oh!
I forgot the best part.

186
00:07:46,727 --> 00:07:50,034
That night, she gets drunk
again, eats my Milky Ways

187
00:07:50,078 --> 00:07:53,124
and then puts her chocolatey
fingers all over my magazine.

188
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:56,127
For the record, I didn't
get drunk again. I got high.

189
00:07:57,128 --> 00:07:58,347
Sweet dreams.

190
00:07:59,391 --> 00:08:00,915
Hmm.

191
00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:03,004
Your mom
is awesome.

192
00:08:09,576 --> 00:08:10,925
I feel like
everyone who lives

193
00:08:10,968 --> 00:08:13,580
in my gingerbread
house is really happy.

194
00:08:17,148 --> 00:08:19,063
Now they're all dead.

195
00:08:19,107 --> 00:08:21,065
I'm thinking
they got out okay.

196
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,067
No, they're all pinned
under the rubble,

197
00:08:23,111 --> 00:08:24,939
and the cell service is bad.

198
00:08:26,984 --> 00:08:29,465
Something bothering
you, Patty?

199
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,207
My mom won't even let me talk
to Erica on the phone.

200
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:33,861
I'm sorry.

201
00:08:33,904 --> 00:08:37,038
If it makes you feel any better,
my daughter won't talk to me,

202
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:39,083
and my son chose
to live with his father.

203
00:08:39,127 --> 00:08:40,781
That's so sad.

204
00:08:40,824 --> 00:08:44,219
I know. I was trying
to cheer you up to my level,

205
00:08:44,262 --> 00:08:47,657
but I depressed myself
down to yours.

206
00:08:47,701 --> 00:08:50,268
Okay, candidate
number five-- Katie.

207
00:08:50,312 --> 00:08:52,096
She went to high
school with Andy,

208
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:54,272
still lives in
town, not married.

209
00:08:54,316 --> 00:08:55,709
Okay, look at
the fingers.

210
00:08:55,752 --> 00:08:57,928
Are they too stubby?

211
00:08:57,972 --> 00:08:59,974
Enough with the fingers.

212
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:02,367
Jill,
why aren't you participating

213
00:09:02,411 --> 00:09:06,807
in this time-consuming,
supposedly fun yuletide ritual?

214
00:09:06,850 --> 00:09:08,591
I am. But as
in real life,

215
00:09:08,635 --> 00:09:11,072
I hired a contractor
to build my house for me.

216
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:13,117
How's it going over there, Tam?

217
00:09:13,161 --> 00:09:14,554
It's great.

218
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:17,731
I'm building an 18th century
English country house.

219
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:18,949
I think you're gonna like it.

220
00:09:18,993 --> 00:09:21,561
I just have
to redo these gables.

221
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,650
What happened to Bonnie?

222
00:09:23,693 --> 00:09:24,825
She went to get a sweater.

223
00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:26,087
That was, like, an hour ago.

224
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:28,263
It was?
Wow. Time sure flies

225
00:09:28,306 --> 00:09:30,091
when you're building
a historically accurate

226
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:32,789
representation of a house
out of cookies.

227
00:09:32,833 --> 00:09:35,139
Be right back.

228
00:09:35,183 --> 00:09:37,185
[gasps]
Ooh. Forget stubby fingers.

229
00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:38,403
Look at candidate
number six.

230
00:09:38,447 --> 00:09:40,710
Oh, my God,
just call him!What?

231
00:09:40,754 --> 00:09:42,625
You've got a great boyfriend
who loves you,

232
00:09:42,669 --> 00:09:44,235
so stop inventing drama!

233
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,151
If you got a question, just
call him and ask, or get ready

234
00:09:47,195 --> 00:09:49,589
to sit home with me every
Saturday night and knit socks!

235
00:09:51,199 --> 00:09:53,027
I guess I could
give him a call.

236
00:09:53,070 --> 00:09:54,376
Hey, Wendy,
if you're making socks,

237
00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:56,334
I'm a size ten and a half,
and I like the ones

238
00:09:56,378 --> 00:09:58,554
with little toes
like foot mittens.

239
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:06,867
I'm prepared
to sit here all night.

240
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:10,000
What do you
want me to say?

241
00:10:10,044 --> 00:10:12,437
The holidays
are hard for me.

242
00:10:12,481 --> 00:10:14,744
Oh, you're the one.

243
00:10:18,226 --> 00:10:20,184
Christy told an...

244
00:10:20,228 --> 00:10:23,187
awful story about
me last night.

245
00:10:23,231 --> 00:10:25,015
I've heard it a
thousand times,

246
00:10:25,059 --> 00:10:27,061
I've always laughed,
but for some reason,

247
00:10:27,104 --> 00:10:30,325
now I want to punch
myself in the face.

248
00:10:30,368 --> 00:10:31,674
I'm just...

249
00:10:31,718 --> 00:10:33,110
suddenly...

250
00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:34,634
[chuckles softly]

251
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:38,681
...very ashamed
of who I was.

252
00:10:38,725 --> 00:10:40,770
And that is not
how I roll.

253
00:10:40,814 --> 00:10:42,424
You're right where
you're supposed to be.

254
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,469
What, hiding in my room
crying about something

255
00:10:44,513 --> 00:10:46,646
that went down
30 years ago?

256
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:48,430
What's happening to you
is very common.

257
00:10:48,473 --> 00:10:50,040
You've got almost five years,

258
00:10:50,084 --> 00:10:52,695
and you're starting to see
your past through sober glasses,

259
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,479
and that can be painful.

260
00:10:54,523 --> 00:10:55,959
Why during Christmas?

261
00:10:56,003 --> 00:10:57,961
We don't get to schedule
when it happens.

262
00:10:58,005 --> 00:11:00,442
It just,
it comes up when it comes up.

263
00:11:02,009 --> 00:11:04,881
I once made a flight to Detroit
very, very uncomfortable

264
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:07,231
for my seatmates.

265
00:11:07,275 --> 00:11:08,842
Why were you in Detroit?

266
00:11:08,885 --> 00:11:10,670
It's the National Cat Show.

267
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:12,019
Is that why you were crying,

268
00:11:12,062 --> 00:11:14,325
'cause you paid to go
to a cat show?

269
00:11:14,369 --> 00:11:16,980
If you really must know,
I was crying

270
00:11:17,024 --> 00:11:19,983
because 15 years earlier
I had cheated on my husband,

271
00:11:20,027 --> 00:11:21,681
and for some reason mid-flight,

272
00:11:21,724 --> 00:11:24,771
the enormity
of what I had done hit me.

273
00:11:24,814 --> 00:11:26,468
Oh.

274
00:11:26,511 --> 00:11:27,774
[sighs]

275
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:32,082
I get it.

276
00:11:32,126 --> 00:11:35,520
Recovery is
a never-ending process.

277
00:11:35,564 --> 00:11:38,088
We're slowly peeling back
layers of an onion.

278
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:41,657
You don't get to see it all
at once, but that's a blessing.

Bit of a situation.

282
00:11:46,618 --> 00:11:49,012
Patty has decided
to go kidnap her daughter.

283
00:11:49,056 --> 00:11:50,753
That's not the word she's using,

284
00:11:50,797 --> 00:11:53,103
but I'm telling you
that is what it is.

285
00:11:56,411 --> 00:11:57,542
Hey, what's going on?

286
00:11:57,586 --> 00:11:59,066
I'm going to get my daughter.

287
00:11:59,109 --> 00:11:59,980
Get out of my way.

288
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:01,503
But what about your mom?

289
00:12:01,546 --> 00:12:03,113
Gonna wait till
she falls asleep,

290
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:04,811
crawl through
the doggy door,

291
00:12:04,854 --> 00:12:07,509
grab my kid and find a motel to
celebrate Christmas together.

292
00:12:07,552 --> 00:12:10,773
Oh, my God,
we're gonna be on Dateline.

293
00:12:11,992 --> 00:12:14,255
Patty... listen to me.

294
00:12:14,298 --> 00:12:15,996
Sometimes when we're angry,

295
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:18,302
we don't really make
the best decisions.

296
00:12:18,346 --> 00:12:20,522
I just want to hug
my daughter, okay?

297
00:12:20,565 --> 00:12:22,002
C-Come here. Sit down.

298
00:12:24,265 --> 00:12:26,093
Here, have some...

299

300
00:12:30,445 --> 00:12:32,926
I know what you're going
through is really painful--

301
00:12:32,969 --> 00:12:34,797
this is your first
sober Christmas--

302
00:12:34,841 --> 00:12:37,887
but like everything in sobriety,
you don't have to face it alone.

303
00:12:37,931 --> 00:12:39,149
You have me.

304
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:40,150
You have all of us.

305
00:12:40,194 --> 00:12:41,761
Yeah. And we're
gonna help you

306
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:42,979
make the best of it.

307
00:12:43,023 --> 00:12:44,502
And as your sponsor,
I'm supposed

308
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:47,157
to give you suggestions
that make you go, "Ugh,"

309

For taking such good
care of your daughter.

313
00:12:57,994 --> 00:13:00,083
Just think about it.

314
00:13:02,085 --> 00:13:03,957

back upstairs.

Fine.

No, you're not.No, I'm not.

320
00:13:17,579 --> 00:13:19,668
You handled that
beautifully.

321
00:13:19,711 --> 00:13:22,149
[sighs] Good,
'cause I want to die.

322
00:13:22,192 --> 00:13:24,847

another Christmas.

So what do we do, just knock
on a door and start singing?

You don't knock on doors--
that's trick-or-treating.
