Episode #6:Isaac, Chris’s friend from Turning Point, discusses his journey to sobriety. He became addicted to opiates as a youth after recovering from knee surgery. It was his 15th time in rehab that he was finally able to maintain sobriety. From living in motels and on the streets of LA, running from the law, and selling drugs to maintain his habit, Isaac has been sober for almost a year and a half. He is currently awaiting approval from a judge to move back home with his family, and we wish his all the best.

Episode Song:Homeward Bound by Simon & Garfunkel

LyricsI’m sitting in the railway stationGot a ticket to my destinationOn a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in handAnd every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man bandHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome where my thought’s escapingHome where my music’s playingHome where my love lies waitingSilently for me

Every day’s an endless streamOf cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factoriesAnd every stranger’s face I see reminds me that I long to beHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome where my thought’s escapingHome where my music’s playingHome where my love lies waitingSilently for me

Tonight I’ll sing my songs againI’ll play the game and pretendBut all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrityLike emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort meHomeward boundI wish I wasHomeward boundHome where my thought’s escapingHome where my music’s playingHome where my love lies waitingSilently for meSilently for me
