Ep. 8 - Jimmy Lopez Part 2: Exponential Jimmy

Jimmy talks to me about sobriety for the first time: how he saw himself heading in a direction he didn't like and how he took steps to correct his path, creating his own unique methods for keeping clean. I have a great respect for anyone that consciously, effectively changes a pattern, habit, or addiction- it's not easy. I hope this episode is a helpful reflection for everyone who listens.
