Well, it's called the West Bank, and
is
and he used to prescribe me some Oxy's
cuz I tore my knee and my buddies were
you know, we're like you should try them
and the next thing I knew I was detoxing
on my rabbi's floor in the middle of
Jerusalem not knowing what it even
meant, you know, at the end of the year
and um
>> Not knowing that you were getting
addicted to a substance
and not knowing that it was going to
require such like a painful process of
detox.
>> Oh yeah, and and really not even knowing
while I was going through it that that
was required. I just thought I was sick,
you know, it just didn't make sense. I
was young. I was in good shape. It
didn't
detox it more felt like I had a bad
virus, you know, it was just and then
when I moved back to Miami and I
had a young lady that worked with us who
had cystic fibrosis and she would be
prescribed from these pill mills these
giant Oxycontin bottles and knowing what
you know,
knowing how I enjoyed my year in Israel
and there was like this disconnection,
you know, one of my favorite guys I've
ever worked with and in many ways loves
the phrase
you know, addiction is the opposite of
connection.
>> Right.
>> And recovery is connection and
not knowing that's what I searched for
my whole life. That uncomfortableness
that I felt throughout my whole life
was the yearning for that.
