And so I asked a girlfriend that lived in my house to give me a ride. Cause I didn't even have a car to give me a ride to the sheriff's office. And, uh, and so on the way there, I am shaking like a Chihuahua pooping razor blades. Long story short, I won't go into that story, but it had to do with something that happened. It was about a robbery. So I could prove I didn't do it. They thought I did it. That's what got you off the hook. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I went through that episode of those hours that day. And that evening, my dad calls me, and my dad never calls me, ever. And I'm sitting on the smoke patio with the other girls at the sober house. I'm like, my dad's calling me. And I step out to take his call. And he was like really upset and didn't want to tell me. And at this time, not only was I a whole state away, I didn't have any visitation rights at all. And so even if I was in Oklahoma, I couldn't have gone and saw her. That's a great segue because that is our collective experience. So for me, it's year two to three. In fact, I am going to say with confidence, it's most people. Year two to three, you're an anomaly. And you'll never understand that that most people don't find god the way you did at two to three months sober most don't they just don't i i i know a lot of people in recovery and i'm just telling you that there is sort of a a flow in recovery like you know one to five years you're just figuring it all out. I believe that in certain contexts.
