I, I wish we had more time because I know we could have a whole nother conversation about just this piece, but before you go, right, I always like to ask my guests one question. Someone out there is listening. Maybe they're early in recovery. Maybe they're struggling. Maybe they're in that place where you were for those two years, you know, rolling around in all the mess, trying to figure it out. And you could tell them one thing. What would you want them to know?
