I dreamt that you were twisting through seven suns of gold and the gypsy was insisting

that story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning that you might be a treasure. I could touch but never hold.

Hi everybody. Welcome back to the Soberful podcast. We're going to get started in just a second.

Before we do, I want to let you know about a free training that I have coming up on September

the 18th to the 22nd. It's a five-day event. My five-day events are really popular. It's called

the sober system. Over five days, I am going to lead you through the process to build a sober

system that works because it's not just about stopping drinking.

It's 10% stopping drinking, 90% emotional sobriety.

I would love for you to be there.

You just have to go to soberful.com to sign up or you'll see some of the links on my social media.

We're going to cover a bunch of different things, but I am going to focus on helping

you thrive in a wet world as someone who doesn't drink alcohol. So please make sure that you

sign up, claim your C, and I look forward to seeing you on September the 18th when we kick

off. Okay, let's get started with the podcast. Hello, everybody, and welcome

back to the Sober Fool podcast. We are back after our summer break. This is Veronica.

And this is Chip. Did you have a nice summer? Did I see that you, did you do your barge thing?

Did my barge thing with my son? And it was... That looks looks so fun it was the best one we've ever had

I don't know the older we both get the closer we get the actual barge and the canal and thing

is so unimportant compared to the time we spent together, the way we interact, that's what makes it so wonderful. And I mean, it was a, there was some exciting things on it, but it's, it's just the time we spend together. So, you know, and I said to him when it finished and we were driving home, do you want to do it again? Yes? He said, absolutely. That's planet now.

Oh, that's so, yeah.

That was lovely, yeah. It's so nice that you have that as your thing and that, you know, when you're gone, he'll always kind of remember and do that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think I may have said this before, but I said to him, you know, you're talking about dying,

I said, that'll you know, you're talking about dying.
