Recovery Elevator, episode 33.

Al-Cala-Silly was one of the major players keeping me from maintaining my values and from maintaining

and achieving my goals. Welcome to the Recovery Elevator Podcast. My name is Paul. Thank you so much for joining us.

According to my Recovery Elevator sobriety tracker on my phone, I've been sober for one year, two weeks, and six days, and I plan to keep this train moving forward.

On today's podcast, I've got Matthew. He's been sober for.

Actually, he doesn't know. Therefore, I don't know. He doesn't really believe that

counting days in sobriety is motivation to stay sober.

This is an interesting concept to me, so stick around for the interview.

I can only imagine the way good old Ben Franklin felt after the way he discovered electricity.

Recovery elevator, I think I'm on to something huge.

I've heard so many times that it's that first drink

that gets us into trouble.

It's not the last one, it's the first drink. I think I have invented.

Yes, I'm going to put myself in the same category as Benjamin Franklin. I am a

podcaster and an inventor and I think I've invented something special just like Benny Franklin did when he invented electricity or discovered electricity shall we say or maybe he invented the light bulb. I was probably hung over during this

topic in school, but I have invented a system that I think will work that will allow people to drink normally again and skip the whole

first drink dilemma that lands us in jail flat on our faces in the gutter you get the

point now I've been sober for over a year and things are going

pretty darn well so I personally am not going to try this technique that I've invented but it's pretty much a fail-safe plan. Are you ready for it?

Oh, you actually got to wait till the end of the episode. You could probably just skip

forward to the end of it, but I'm going to pull like the to- be continued card and it's going to be the end of the

episode where I'm going to line out how this ingenious detailed plan works.
