Hey, it's the introduction to You Are Not Alone, a recovery podcast, and this is the time I transition over from the old podcast, which is the Minifan show, to the new one, a podcast about recovery.

You may know me as DEC.

I'm going by Matt Jay now on this show, and we're here to share our experience, strength,

and hope recovering from addiction. We don't speak for any 12-step group, but we do try to remain

anonymous. If you are one of the old listeners, you're okay to hang around. What I'm going to do

is categorize all the old Menafan shows as season one, and I'm going to put the old artwork there.

Last week, there were still about 1,200 listens on the old episode, so there is still an appetite for that.

If you're new to this and you want to go listen to the madness that I used to do, go right

ahead. If you would like to hang out and learn more about recovery, that's something I'd love

for you to do too. I mean, trust me, I've met quite a few people in the Kirkmanahan world

who would benefit from this. So what the new podcast is going to be, and I will gear that

towards season two so that we're breaking up between

the two podcasts are a little bit about recovery from some of my friends in recovery.

We'll talk about recovery topics, personal stories. Kind of conceive this a little bit around

going to an open talk meeting. and instead of listening to somebody's

story, you have somebody asked the questions to focus it in a better way because open talk

stories can be good, but people can ramble off. And I thought I'm the type of person who could get

you in a good place. And I thought about doing this because of with COVID, it's hard to get to a meeting.

It might be hard to stop drinking.

Well, with all the stress may not be easy to find a Zoom meeting.

So our plan is to have an episode every Tuesday at 5 a.m.

And you'll have that to look forward to a little meeting in your pocket.
