“I think it's funny. I was talking to a friend of ours, therapist in Denver, who's recovery. But it just blows anonymity. He and I are the same age. And he's about the same sobriety and come from sort of the same tree of sobriety. And we talked about that about a month ago. He's like, you know, what do you think it is?
