| 0:03.0 | Welcome to the Recovery Elevator podcast, number two. |
| 0:10.0 | I am excited for you guys to be here. My name is Paul and |
| 0:16.7 | I'm still an alcoholic. And at the time of this recording I've been sober 170 days, that's |
| 0:22.0 | 5.59 months according to my recovery elevator sobriety |
