Hi guys, today I've got a special guest on the podcast. His name is Adam Comer. He is a pastor

0:27.6

and also the CEO of S2L recovery. So S2L recovery is a Christian base, not faith base. We will

0:33.7

get into the show. It is a Christian based Christ centered addiction recovery residential care

0:39.3

facility for men age 18 to 65. It's out there in Tennessee. And as I mentioned, he's the CEO

0:44.7

of S2L recovery. But he actually used to be a participant in the program because Adam himself

0:51.1

used to be completely addicted to opioids. So tell me the number of guys you know that used to
