Between the Lines Recovery
by Jay Lind
Between the Lines Recovery is a platform for the stories of some of the unique people I have met during my journey through drug addiction and recovery. Some of the guests you may recognize from my memoir of the same name, but I will also interview some equally interesting people unrelated to that journey who have important stories to tell.I believe that everyone has a story we should hear, and that if we take the time to ask the right questions and to listen to the answers, we can all learn from each other. The better you know someone, the harder it is to hate them. Think about it. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-lind4/support
