When you, when you go into this, we have something called a single sober social, and it's really cool because, you know, we do an icebreaker, but I just love how people from all over love the experience without having to have known somebody to begin with. And I think part of that is because we have this basis and truth, right? That we've all been in this place, whether, whether you're a Susie that decided to stop drinking, she's a health person, she's, you know, she's real active. And so it just didn't fit in with her lifestyle, where, you know, mine was a little more severe, but it doesn't matter. It just runs the gamut. You just get into this, the connection ability that you have. It puts everybody on a level playing field.
Imagine stepping into a social gathering without the crutch of alcohol.
