I am in awe of how the more these changes continue to happen, the more I am reminded, no, no, you picked the exact right time to quit drinking. Because if you had still been drinking when COVID came in, when your dog died, when your grandma died, when your husband had a freaking skull infection, because that's a thing that happens. When all of this happened, if drinking was still a tool for you, you would not be here. Like I would not be here to talk to you on this podcast. I would not be.
