Her story was just so harrowing and so totally "hand-pressed-over-your-mouth" awful that the grizzled 30+ year-ers, in their usual spots in the front row, whose lives all "give legs" to the cliches "act in haste-regret at leisure" and "you can't unring a bell", and who HAD truely, up to this very point, heard it all, stopped mid sip and sat, frozen, over their coffees...After 45 minutes of seeing her studder and stammer and fight her way through sharing what honestly and realistically seems to be the absolute worst thing anyone has probably ever had to endure as a result of abusing substances, a good number of heads were buried in arms that were folded in laps and, unbelievablably, even a few of the scarey, court appointed scallies that usually congregated over by the windows and that would whisper and distract and simply not respect anyone or anything and that never, ever listened to shit, did infact shut the fuck up and had very visible, unwiped tears rolling down what could, earlier, be quite accurately referred to as "their ice grill".....
