Episode #4:
It’s the invention aftermath. As a follow up to our invention episode, we discuss the perspectives of Melanie & Chris, Amy’s sister and brother-in-law, who helped with Chris’s intervention and getting him into detox. In this episode we discuss their observations of Chris’s behavior leading up to the intervention, their medical professional perspectives on addiction, and the help and support they provided and continue to provide with Chris’s recovery. We will cover why it may be essential for someone in addiction to go to detox prior to rehab. You’ll also hear about Chris’s early experiences in detox and listen to a voicemail he left Amy only 24 hours into his recovery.
Episode Song:
Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue
Lyrics
Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a ’65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he’s runnin’ a gang
But I hear he’s doin’ okay
Got a cozy little job sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candy cane
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s the one that makes ya feel alright
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody’s getting paid
Jimmy’s got it wired, law’s for hire
Got it make in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he’ll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy’s town
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s the one that makes ya feel alright
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s gonna be your Frankenstein
I’ve got one thing you’ll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He’s not what you’d call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that’s easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood oh yeah
He’ll tell you he’s the king of these Barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumor going round
Jimmy’s going down
This time it’s gonna stick
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s the one that makes ya feel alright
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s gonna be your Frankenstein
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand (Dr. Feelgood)
Some people call him an evil man (Dr. Feelgood)
Let him introduce himself real good (Dr. Feelgood)
He’s the only one they call feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)
I’ve got one thing you’ll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He’s not what you’d call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that’s easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)
Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)
Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)
Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)
Feelgood, Feelgood, Feelgood, Feelgood
