Nobody got recovery coming in with 14 years. We had to start one day at a time. And some days you might have to just do it one minute. But whatever you do, no matter what, join the no matter what club. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep pushing through and trust and believe your darkness will also turn into light. Thank you, Kim. Thank you, Cheyenne. Have a nice day.
