Previous Episode: Happy New Year! Sam Came Back!

Next Episode: How would you survive as a ten-year-old all alone in the world?

In his teens and 20s, John spent most of his time partying. He would regularly drink, smoke cigarettes and weed, and abuse prescription drugs. Then, thanks to a woman he was dating who didn't like cigarettes, he decided to quit smoking cigarettes. This launched him into a fitness routine because of his use of push ups to curb cravings.

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode I'm talking with a trauma survivor about their history and recovery. Suicide, child abuse, and PTSD are common themes.
