Jalen is 22 and getting out of rehab at Guiding Light Recovery (GLR) tomorrow. GLR is a 4-month inpatient substance abuse treatment program provided to men in Grand Rapids, MI. at no financial cost...and is the namesake of this podcast if you didn't know. Also, to make things weirder, Debbie is Jalen's Life Coach and Doug is his sponsor. We talk about how his experience coming through GLR and the unique way it is structured. Doug shares a really dumb thing he did as a recovering alcoholic because of his "artistic insecurities." Debbie talks about her own recovery from an eating disorder and the role she plays in her client's journeys. Also, we discuss how, atleast for Jalen and Doug, rehab was unironically, incredibly fun. The ability to share in the insane experience of being grown adults voluntarily locking yourselves out of the world because you can't stop killing yourself is hilarious when you think about it.
