You know, I think that's a, that's a, that's a common question, but I like to talk about the journey more than I like to talk about, you know, the cause. Honestly, I didn't ever envision myself getting into recovery advocacy or even quite frankly, being open and honest and talking about my story. And I had no desire to do that. My recovery dates, February 2nd, 2015. And shortly after I got into recovery, I was actually living in a sober living home. really having no idea what I was going to do with my life, you know, rebuilding kind of block from block at, at very, it felt like at the, you know, ground zero at the very beginning. And I had a catastrophic nightmare of a time trying to navigate the the healthcare space prior to getting into recovery through treatment and all sorts of issues. And when I ended up getting out of treatment into sober living, I was looking for a job and I ended up driving Uber.
