in our community we have a sponsor because they're able to put on the rain you know they're

able to go yo you back back down a little bit right like like let's let's dial it back a little bit

let's focus on your stuff because if this person's 209 days sober i don't know maybe they didn't even

make it through all the steps, right?

I'm not even sure, right? Who knows if they're doing our program?

So, you know, you really got to start thinking about that because if you move too fast, it's like the guys, you know, we'd see it all the time.

Come in, oh, I'm great. I'm feeling good. I'm back

in the gym. I'm working out like these people's just trying to get everything back quickly.

I'm Matt. Hey, I'm Steve. Hey, I'm John. This is the Sober Friends podcast.

and I haven't missed it. And I'm playing around with Blue Sky, which is, which is a lot of fun.

But back to TikTok.

once or twice a day to build something up.
