Quit Opiates, Alcohol, and Cats

Chris Gethard
About this episode

A caller checks in from a Costco parking lot to mark one year sober after 25 years of blackout drinking. He talks about kicking opioids, rebuilding his life, and what it's like to actually remember things again. He and Geth get into punk shows, lost friends, and how addiction doesn't always look the way people think it does.

Plus, Dog Talk makes a rare appearance from behind the paywall.
