Days N Daze / Escape From the Zoo on Relationships, Relapse & the X-Files #20

Back On The Grind

Je-C (Days N Daze / Escape From The Zoo) & his wife Veronica (Escape From The Zoo) come on the show to talk about relationships, relapse & the X-Files. They share some laughs, shed some tears & also discuss Nick Lutsko, their intro to punk music, why they didn't come on the show last year as planned, romanticizing the tortured artist idea & relationships with parents.

If you enjoy the parts of this episode where we discuss what happens when an event in your life cracks you open & you then have a choice to make; then we suggest you listen to episode #19 (it's right before this one) titled "Finding Happiness In Our Broken Places with Mitchell Gray." We take an even deeper dive into the topic & it's been a favorite episode for listeners.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• What it was like for Veronica to push for sobriety in the relationship
• Doing EDMR in rehab
• Benefits & challenges sobriety brought to their relationship
• The value of open communication in a relationship
• Veronica & Je-C respond to the Johnny Hobo poll we ran in episode 15
