G'day from Oz.
I can relate to this young man completely. His story runs a few parallel with mine.
Well done Jon!

[@christinavaughn6273]

I drive a lot for work, and when I log on UA-cam to listen to your podcasts and see a new one, I’m always a little excited! Great job yet again, man!

The title is my life

[@jerryhatrick5860]

Everything is for a reason. Regrets are lessons not learned.
I'm glad you made It out alive to tell your story, and share hope and wisdom.
I've lost so many suicide and addiction since I was 16, now 53 with a trashed liver.
Me I just go sick of the chase the mentality of addicts the whole lifestyle.
Never went street I've had many surgeries.
Starting 20 years ago. Dr's gave me all I wanted. But I never really sold my scripts until I found subs.
Kept getting them filled and switched to subs.
Had to pay rent.
Alcohol has always been my doc.

[@NobodysGh0sT]

Love the Danbury Trashers. I really wish they'd bring that team back. They probably could've bested some of the fraudulent NHL teams out there.

[@DannyCarver_WP]
