Caller (6:46)

It's just. It's so amazing. It's. It's freedom. And so how do I go forward? Well, I'll tell you what then. You quoted you. You didn't quote. You said something about Luke in the Bible that if you hold on to the pl, you're not. You won't go to heaven. If you look back, I'm like, oh, okay, so now I get to hold on to the plow, don't look back and realize that, you know, I can turn the page. That that's just the way my mom was. That's just the way that my past was. That's just, It's. It's just like I'm an alcoholic and I've been sober for seven years.

Dr. Laura (7:35)

Congratulations.

Caller (7:38)

Thank you. And you talked about the fourth step. The fourth step and how it. I've been seven years sober and I hate the fourth step. And I haven't really approached it, but I found out today that I can call you up and tell you that I was a disrespectful, self indulgent, egoistic, selfish, jealous, you name it. And then. And so without going into intimate detail about everything I've done, I've just performed my fourth step, too, because I told Dr. Laura.

Dr. Laura (8:21)

Nice, nice. Thank you for having me help be a participant. Thank you.

Caller (8:30)

You're welcome. I've been listening to you, coincidentally, seven years since I've been sober, I started listening to you. And it's just in combination. I'm just blessed. I'm looking forward to life and I could be happy. I can let go of all the childhood molestation and yada, yada, yada, yada that I've had in my life. Because I'm just going to grab that plow and not look back.

Dr. Laura (8:59)

Right. Good for you.

Co-host (9:02)

I'm impressed. Proud of you, sweetie.

Dr. Laura (9:04)

Proud of you.

Caller (9:06)

Thank you, Dr. Laura. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me.

Co-host (9:11)

Take care. Take care.
