I spent a lot of time in the vehicle and I got sick of listening to, like howard stern on satellite radio. Man, I've been a member of that community for Close To Five Years and and it's it's a different version of the same thing.
Imagine being on the verge of losing everything you hold dear because of addiction. That's exactly where Kris Oyen found himself in the summer of 2017.
