Episode notes
Shane has spent a great deal of his life searching for connection and acceptance. Though he drank alcohol and used pot, his struggle escalated when he witnessed a friend take his own life. For much of his life, Shane was in and out of jail and prison. When he was 34, he was facing 45 years of incarceration. He credits drug court/problem solving court with saving his life. On May 1, 2022, Shane will celebrate 3 years of being clean. He readily admits the pain and struggle brought on when chasing recovery.
