What I, what I want to do now with just, I guess, the rest of my life, because before, before, I just didn't have that same clarity. So you don't really like put a lot of thought into that. So what I, what I would like to do, is just maybe think about just what other potential I can unlock. So I started like learning to play an instrument, started cycling. But I think the biggest thing is just seeing what, what more I can do, what more potential I have within my sobriety, aside from just the hobbies and stuff, what else I can do with the rest of my life?
