Remembering Todd: A Heartfelt Journey on Dopey 236

I always remember celebrating with him, going out, going out, just having a birthday together, and carrie, who is my best friend, who is also Todd's best friend. I spent a ton of time with him, and it's also just because my recovery defines a lot of my life, and before that, my drug using defined a lot of my life, and I didn't use drugs with anybody.
