EPISODE #6 | Sam Finds a Ripple of Hope with the Grateful Dead

Pronouns: He/Him

When Sam finds himself at St. Christophers for the second time – an in-patient addiction treatment facility – he discovers an unexpected solace when he becomes a church choir director. Tune in to learn how, when his community learns of a tragic loss,  Sam helps them find harmony within the chaos.

If you think you have a problem and want help, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association’s National Helpline at  1-800-662-HELP.

I’m reminded of my first time in detox, when the older comrades treated me like I was innocent. They had warned me to cut this shit out before the real pain sets in and I lose everything.
