Pat Montesian's Wednesday drop-in hours

texture · Wed 4 Nov YDAU (2009), 1300-1500h

• When: Wednesday 4 Nov YDAU (2009), 1300-1500h
• What: A two-hour slice of the Executive Director's resident-interface drop-in hours, rendered as raw resident transcript with Pat's side never recorded — the House's counseling engine shown by its residents' voices alone. Nell Gunther owns "her part" of a fork-stabbing in weaponized Recoveryspeak; Tiny Ewell refuses to "attribute to myself a given term" (alcoholic) no one will define; Alfonso asks in second-language English how admitting powerlessness confers power to stop; an unnamed resident asks if there's a Program prayer "for when you want to hang yourself"; Bruce Green (unnamed but unmistakable) recounts the Tommy Doocey snake-trailer years and losing Mildred Bonk. The form makes Pat's listening the scene's invisible center.
