Now we can talk about your last question getting your mind off of the pills.

And that is going to come from a root knowledge foundation in your life of something that's better than pills.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Granger Smith Podcast. The time when I get to sit down with y'all and just talk about life answering your questions if you have a question for me.

Email GrangerSmith Podcast at gmail.com. I love doing this. We sit down like we're in the cab of a truck driving on a road trip and you say, hey man could I run something past you something I've been thinking about an idea I have or a question I have.

And I'm not always right in my answers, but I'll just feed it to you as if we're friends. And I would hope the same from you. And in fact I know that I would get the same from you.

My day gets so busy, you know I'm doing after midnight radio show doing the Smith touring, making music, making a soundtrack for this movie I'm working on right now.

So if all the moving parts that I have in my life, this is the time when I get to just stop and breathe for a second and go over these questions.

So I'm going to pull up my inbox from this email. I'm going to randomly pick them. I don't have any notes in front of me.

So everything that you hear is going to be the top of my head. And like I said, it might not be right, but it's just two friends talking, okay.

Here we go. First question, septic line is called my question. That's it. Hey Granger, my name's Dustin. I'd love to start off by saying I'm a huge fan of the podcast in your music.

Thank you so much. I've been I'll be seeing you May 20th in Nebraska. Awesome, buddy. I saw you in Lincoln, Nebraska in December of 2021.

My question is what are some good ways to that you could move past a relationship?

I was with someone for seven years. It just came to an end. I'm looking for a little advice. Thanks again. Love all you do.

Dustin, okay. Now I'm talking about heartbreak here talking about moving on from a past relationship and you're asking me my advice for practical ways to to get past this.

So we're not talking deep emotional theological answers. We're just going practical. I'm going to say this. I'm going to say, let's see, you said you were with someone for seven years just came to an end. So this is new.

First of all, I want to say Dustin, I don't recommend anyone anyone is in a relationship for seven years.

The longest I was in before Amber was three years and I don't recommend that either. I was lost back then. Okay. So I don't think it takes that long, guys.

I think I think a year is a good, that's a good 12 month round number of deciding whether this is your, the person you want to marry or not.

And I say that in a way that I feel like you should start dating whenever you're in a place when you feel like you're ready to meet a spouse.

You don't really start seriously dating and I'm not talking about going out and having having a movie or a dinner with somebody and some friends and getting to know somebody. I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about a serious, we're exclusive. It's been a long time. We're five months into this thing. We're not seeing anybody else. This is an exclusive, go and steady relationship.

I don't think we should start that until we say, okay, I am now looking for my spouse from my future spouse. I'm on a mission to find my future spouse.
