On all appearances, things look good, but on the inside I was like I was like spiritually bankrupt...
Ever felt like you're teetering on the edge, unsure if you can pull yourself back? Jake G. knows that feeling all too well. At 29, his life was spiraling out of control with near-misses at work, a trip to the psych ward, and a desperate intervention from his parents. This episode of 'Keep Coming Back' dives into Jake's transformation from thinking 'I need a break from drinking' to realizing 'I need to be sober'.
