I own it, I didn't, not proud that was me, and when I face it a little dignity, not looking for excuse me, I just want to be free from power, weakness head on the feet.

Free, free, free, free, everyone. Welcome to the bubble hour where real people tell real stories of addiction and recovery.

I'm your host, Gene McCarthy, and I am so excited because we have a fun summer series where we have brought back all of our old co-hosts to give us an update on where life has taken them in the last little while, and it's

Amanda's turn today.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi, Jean.

How are you?

Oh, I'm good.

I've missed your voice.

I just, I'm so glad that you were able to do this.

We have, like, not caught up in way too long, so I'm really excited. I have no idea what you're going to

tell me. I can't wait. I cannot wait to hear what's been going on for you these last few years.

Yeah, I know. I miss you. I know. And I, you know, it was so much fun when we were able to do

this as that we used to do it every Sunday night. And no matter what happened, you know, it was so much fun when we were able to do this as that we used to do it every Sunday night. And no matter what happened, you know, we were all managed to get to the phone lines on Sunday night and record something. But it just got so crazy. And I have a feeling that that's been your life these last few years has, I mean, you've been busy, right? I mean, that's why you're not here.

Yes, I have.

It's been crazy.

It's been really crazy.

So I think about the time when I, you know, I said, okay, I have to, I have to give it a break,

is I was moving my company.

And that's just a huge undertaking. And I just, I, I couldn't, I just couldn't manage it. And

I know, it was, you know, I have to say I was, I was so torn because I just think the bubble

hour is so important.
