Episode notes
Together, Skip and Jason play a major role with Turning Point Madison County. Skip has years of experience as a fireman and shares the stresses and not always healthy ways of coping. For him, alcohol was his main drug of choice. He was at a point where he was only a heartbeat away from taking his own life. Jason comes from a background of being a successful athlete and then becoming a paramedic. As he found it difficult to deal with the personal pains of the professional experience, he used drugs and alcohol as his coping mechanisms. He is now at fight for others instead of fighting life. This interview of the two together allows them to play off each other in a way that shows great honesty and peer accountability.
