This is the sober friends podcast. We're here for the sober curious, the new guy, and the old

timer. Here to talk about the stuff anyone looking to live,

alcohol-free has to face day to day, now we overcame those struggles. We speak for no 12-step

group, but we do try to remain anonymous. You're not alone. This is the Sober Friends podcast.

Mark's the one guy I know who's actually doing the 75 hard. So he reached out after I

thanked him for a couple of donations. And I said, and he said, oh, by the way, I'm doing the

75 hard too. And some of the other people I know who were making a big deal about it already fell

off. So Mark's a hardcore runner. so I think he'll make it.

He's a little older than me, but some of his exercise habits like the two of you, who are also older than me, put me to shame.

But Mark, thank you.

Thank you for being a supporter of what we do.
