turn anybody off because, you know, lots of people have, you know, trauma around religion, right?

If you grew up in a really religious, very strict household, that might've been what propelled you to want to drink later on in life or use later on in life.

So they basically say, this is an opportunity for you to create a higher power of your own understanding.

It doesn't matter what it is.

For me, for a long time, it was water.

I was like,

I want to have something to believe in.

Water keeps me alive.

If I don't have water in my day, I'm parched.

If I don't drink for a few days, I'm dead.

So let me just use something as this ability to have an understanding of something that's going to help me stay alive.

And if this is what they're saying, I need to stay sober, also known as alive for me.

Water seems like a good one, you know?

And so, but over the last year and a half, I have, and it's not like I've been on a journey looking for it, but Jesus Christ has been showing up in my life in abundance.

I mean, so much so, this might be a little woo-woo, but we're on the topic, so I'll just share the story.

I was driving in Utah about four months ago with a buddy of mine who's also Christian.

And we were just, you know, we were talking about life and, you know, Jesus Christ and things like that.

And we were driving and I looked up and Utah is amazing.

I mean, it's a beautiful, it's just beautiful place.
