“The biggest thing sobriety has taught me is like we just stay sober no matter what, and I have like a really big god, and I feel super blessed. It's been six years, I can look back and I'm glad what happened in the beginning happened because I have this blind faith in anything that I do now. If my god's big enough to take care of all of that, then all this other stuff that comes up, I know it's going to be easy. So I do, I have this blind faith, and I just lean into difficult situations whenever they come up, and it's been rad. I have a really big, beautiful life, so it's been really cool.”
