The only one semi-hurdle I just have to, and I've talked to people about this, is the fact that my wife battles with it.

She just doesn't have the...

My wife and I are, I mean, I'm blessed.

I want to just preface by the same that like I I've been married in April.

Oh no.

Excuse me.

April, July will be 20 years.

I'm married.

Congrats.

Thanks.

And I met the woman of my dreams, you know, 21 and a half years ago, right after I got sober and no one ever would have pinned me as the guy that was going to settle down at 25.

Right.

But,

I met this woman and she's never seen me have a drink.

She's never, you know, I've never used a mind altering substance.

And we're very different, like super duper different.

And she knows, I mean, you know, she used to, when I used to work super late at night and when we first started dating, I told her that I, you know, I'm recovering in sobriety.

I pray every morning and I pray every night.

train my ass off because at that point I was you know when I got sober I was introduced to Muay Thai kickboxing which ultimately saved my life along with God and you know the 12 steps but I used to get home late at night because I was working in the restaurants and I would get home at 3 o'clock sometimes 4 o'clock in the morning and I'd be so tired and I'd get on the floor of the bathroom in prayer position I'd say my prayer

And I'd fall asleep just like that.
