Life is life, and it's amazing, and it's painful, and it's up and it's down. The crazy thing is that I wake up every day extremely excited to see what the day has to offer, knowing it could go bad or it could go well. Excited to wake up. What does the day have in store for me? What do I have in store to offer to life, to my day, to other people? Today is an opportunity to be there for somebody else because somebody was there for me. And that's how the program works. That's how this has a snowball effect in a positive direction is that when somebody did it for me, I do it for somebody somebody else and I have no idea to the end of how far this goes and how far you know the doing the next right thing does in another person's life and then doesn't another person's life and we get this this chain reaction and this this this snowball effect of positive energy and recovery. People do recover.
