Do you have a job on the table right now that you're weighing, or is this philosophical for you?

Do you have, so George will get into the numbers here, but let me ask you a few questions. Do you have the training to be like a teenage addiction counselor?

Okay, okay. What would keep you from keeping your job and also running meetings in the morning or running meetings in the evening? You'd be tired, of course, but what would keep you from doing that? And the reason I'm pressing on you is some of the greatest, what I would call vocational ministers, have full-time jobs. Even Paul made tents. Right.

And so people always say, like, think like in, in, in Georgia, I hear this all the time. I need to quit everything to go be a musician. I need to quit everything to go be a comedian. I need to quit everything to go be a minister. And I always want to hold off and say, could you begin to work your way into this and see, is this the, the life I want to live? Does that make sense?

And I think that's a great question. Are you running towards like a life of full-time celebrate recovery where you're working with people and you're sitting side by side with them in a psychology standpoint or a ministry standpoint, or let's just be honest, do you hate your corporate job? Because those are two different things.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I gotcha. I gotcha. What George and I both know is one of the chief stressors in somebody's life is financial stress. And for somebody who's two years sober, I would hate to say, yep, let's take a $60,000 pay cut or a $50,000 pay cut with 10,000 bucks in the bank. Because George and I both know, man, that kind of stress just leans on you in a tough way.

I would love to see you, no pun intended, baby, step your way into increasing your role in CR, increasing your role in AA meetings, increasing your role volunteering in local organizations and begin to see, is this the life I want to live long-term?
