Hi Clay, Thank you so much for wiring back. I’m listening to your “Are you freaking out about something”, and I sure am haha! I know you said your wife is also in ACA, does she have any online zoom meetings she would suggest? I bought the workbook. Can you also suggest meetings that share the message like you. I can really resonate feeling sick at meetings, I have sat at meetings and I just do not feel anything for the message shared.

Hi Clay, It's been a while since you've heard from me but I've been continuing to listen to your podcasts and learn from the wisdom and experience you share.

I just bought their Cinnamon Hazelnut last week because of you. It's pretty good but I think I need the French Roast mixed in there to really feel the power you speak up. Anyways, when you paused and told everyone to get their celebratory beverage, I grabbed my coffee and sipped and it felt like we we're celebrating my 2 year together. Not sure why I listened...

My sober date is March 13, 2022 after a relapse Thank you for the unnecessary details episode I was able to sit in a very tough conversation with my father in law with love and kindness AND NEUTRALITY!!! I just kept thinking about getting sober to be of service to others and saying the serenity prayer to myself Thank you!!! AMS
