Safe Home Podcast

This is a raw debriefing by Jan and Beth about Joey's relapse that happened earlier that day. Joey moved back to his dad's house in order to use substances again. He gave Jan and Beth his blessing (before his relapse) to continue the podcast and to talk about how relapse is a very common part of recovery.

LYRICS: Looking down staring at the street Never look up at hope, when I mope When I took the time to think I geeked Never losing sight that I might end it all tonight In spite the love I feel tonight Shame in my eyes After the fact I tried No one understands my pain Feeling all alone inside Might as well suicide Nothing feels alright feels alright Doing all the drugs to numb out Speaking in tongues to nod out Is it worth it Is it worth it Can I come out of this pain manifesting inside me Someone come find me Someone came and found me Out of this ditch I found me Family and friends stood by me Now I see the light inside me Thank God for the light Now I never feel the fright Looking down staring at the street Never look up at hope, when I mope When I took the time to think I geeked Never losing sight that I might end it all tonight In spite the love I feel tonight Shame in my eyes After the fact I tried No one understands my pain Feeling all alone inside Might as well suicide Nothing feels alright feels alright
