From Blackout to Belief: Unlocking the worlds best kept secret with Paige Calentino

So one of the things I pointed out that I wrote down, I made a couple notes here to bring up.

You know, when I started on the sober path, you know, it was an inside job.

It was what I had to do with me.

But then I quickly, you know, people pointed out, and this came to mind when you were talking about your toxic relationship.

I was in a toxic relationship.

And I had a therapist and my sponsor said, Glenn, you stay in that relationship.

You will never get sober.

You will never have a quality life.

I mean, just...

And so I did the very, I read this book, Never Go Back, by Dr. Henry Cloud, and it's like, look, you're gonna have, your life for six months is gonna suck, be the suckiest six months ever, but you're gonna come out of this with an amazing new life.

And I'm like, I believed him, I had trust in him, and actually I met him by chance one day, And I went up to him, I'm like, hey, by the way, your book didn't work.

You see what happened in six months, let's say it happened in five.

But getting that toxic, and that reminds me, you know, Paige, I think of the first wheel as kind of think of how I think of life.

Sometimes on the top, sometimes on the bottom, it always moves.

But I got a big, sexy first wheel in my office, blue background and gold first wheel.

And the cars are big.

They're about eight or 10 people can sit in each car.

And what that hits with me is what we're talking about.

It's very important who is in that car with you, you know, on the path, on the sober life.

And what I realized is, you know, I had to throw some people out to put the right people in.

And I really am aware today, are you good for me or are you toxic? And I am very protective.

You know, Paige, I love how you protect your peace.

I'm very protective.

And I'm like, out.

So I love that.
