| 0:00.0 | Recovery Elevator, episode 29. |
| 0:03.0 | I can't even express the joy that I have. |
| 0:06.3 | I'm free. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm free of it. |
| 0:08.8 | Welcome to the Recovery Elevator Podcast. My name is Paul. Thank you so much for joining us. |
| 0:18.4 | According to my Recovery Elevator sobriety app on my phone, I have been sober for 11 months, three weeks and six days, which is |
