Welcome to You Are Not Alone or Recovery podcast. My name is Matt Jay, and on this show, we're here to share our experience, strength, and hope recovering from addiction.

I would have to go out and buy a green screen. The, the tiles behind me that

have watermarks on it, I think would look like crap. But I think it's probably the future.

I'm just not ready to go there yet. But if you're unshowered, I still think you look a little

better than me today. So you're doing something right. But yeah, it is nice when you go through Instagram and you
