the confession, flat and complete
I smoke high-resin Bob Hope in secret by myself down in the Pump Room off the secondary maintenance tunnel. I use Visine and mint toothpaste and shower with Irish Spring to hide it from almost everyone. Only Pemulis knows the true extent.
Context
A textbook First-Step admission performed entirely outside any program: the secret use named in full, alone and in secret, together with the whole concealment apparatus — the Visine, the toothpaste, the Irish Spring — recited flat to the one person who cannot judge him. It has the exact shape of the honesty the Ennet House chapters are built around, delivered in a room with no meeting, no sponsor, and no witness but a brother.
