“I don’t  want to see you again until you’re sober.” What if these were the last words you said to your child? The next time you saw him, the first responder was zipping him up in a body bag behind the dumpster of an apartment complex after a drug overdose. What do you think you would do? Which direction would your life go? On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad continue their conversation with Trey Anson. The first part of their conversation (click here to listen to part 1  https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/7AuYJL7GiMc8giSR7 )  took the listeners from Indian reservations, to the Berlin wall, and to the life of an alcoholic, ending with 2 sons dying of drug overdose within 6 months of one another. This week, the guys continue to talk about going from the worst moment in Trey’s life that leads to the greatest moment of his life. From war to peace. From dark to light. From hopeless to hope. It’s a story that includes hunting for drug dealers, visiting Indian spirit guides, and seeing an old friend after nearly 20 years that lead back to one place and person: an apartment parking lot and Jesus.
