But talking to God in the morning for me is like,

you know, putting on my shoes before I leave the house.

Like it has to happen.

And it's been very powerful.

You know, the one thing I've done, you know, staying sober is a very difficult thing to do.

Getting sober is very hard.

Staying sober long-term is really, really hard because there's, you know,

So many influences.

Life throws curveballs.

Things get really hard.

Things get really awesome.

You want to celebrate.

You want to mourn.

You know, like it's a lot of, you know, feelings are hard.

Feelings in general are just hard.

Whether it's coming from family or business or friends or death, whatever it is.

And, you know, human beings, I believe, are conditioned, especially now, to not want to feel.

We are looking for...

comfort it's just what it is there's been great books written about it recently you know i don't know if you've read the comfort crisis or you know um but there's there's there's where for whatever reason we want to be warm we want to be fed and we don't want to have to lift up heavy things right or you know run fight yeah fight it's just and um

You know, the one thing I've done every single day since I've made the decision to put a plug in the jug and stop using substances was pray.
