2DTDD - 024 Claire Gillman - Wait for the Miracle

The Dudes meet up with one of Tyson's former employees, Claire Gillman. Claire maybe doesn't fit the typical addict stereotype that one might think of. From being a homeschooled, workaholic at a young age, to barely even drinking before her 21st birthday. But once she was able to experience the sweet taste of her drug of choice, she was hooked. From using to selling, Claire covered the gambit of the addiction cycle. But once she had enough, she knew it was time to put in the work to get clean. Now over 18 months sober, she shares her story out loud so that others can learn from her mistakes. She also shares some... interesting former funeral plans she had. Tony is educated on the local drug economy and Tyson learns that his own addiction probably masked the fact he couldn't see Claire going through her own addiction.
