I can't tell you just hanging out with my wife, daughter, and dog. just the fact that's so perfectly awesome in its way and then I realized too as I've gotten better and more comfortable in who I am that earlier in when I was recovering in there and and peers that were recovering I would take it so personal when they would fall down I wouldn't be honest with themselves but I realize now that's not my journey I I can be there, and it's not my purpose to get mad at them. It's on me to always answer the phone, and I'll answer the phone every time, and I think that's an important thing.
