I'm trying. Mm-hmm.

- Your treatment's going well? - Yes.

Do you have any concerns or anything we can do for you?

- I do not. - All right.

Well, just keep up the good work, Clint.

I'm really proud of you. You've really taken to this.

Keep going, keep doing what you're doing,

and it's only gonna get better, okay?

- Thank you, sir. - All right.

- Good job. - Thanks.

Cody C.

Hat, Cody.

- Hi-- Hi, Your Honor. Oh. - Hat. Hat.

- Oh! Oh. - I-I didn't catch you.

You can put it there. That's fine.

- How you doing? - I'm doing great.

That's good. How was your weekend?

Uh, it was-- it was nice.

I went to my aunt's house and everything

and had family dinner.

Finally, um-- I don't know--

got back into my dad's side of the family.

I kind of left there for a while because of, you know,

living-- living on drugs and everything,

so I haven't been around them in a long time.

But they were really excited to see me.

They're most people I took from-- like, not literally.

But, like, when I went to jail, they'd bond me out

until they found out I was on drugs.

Then they'd just put money on my books.

But they fixed my car for me. They got insurance for me.

'Cause I drove here myself today.

Oh, you are driving!

That's awesome!

Yeah. It felt good.

That's why my hair's all frizzy, 'cause, you know,

windows down, country roads.

I got to spend Saturday and Sunday with my family.

I got to see my kids, and they were really excited.

So I did, like, a little treasure hunt for my kids

for them to find their Easter baskets.

I made them follow the eggs.

My son loved it, though. It was awesome. So...

- How you doing, Cody? - Hey. Good. Thanks.

That's good.

So, today is Cody's first day,

so let's all make sure that we give him a nice, warm welcome.

Cody, you're standing

where a lot of other people have stood before you.

You're not the first person, obviously, to be in this spot.

So we welcome you here

and look forward to working with you.

So the basic rules

are to abstain from drugs and alcohol,

attend the court sessions and appointments,

and to submit to your drug and alcohol testing,

which you'll call in for every day.

You follow the rules, or we'll intervene.

We treat everyone on a case-by-case basis.

There's no rubric,

but back to jail is always an option.

And I really don't want that for you, but sometimes

that's the only option we have when things go south.

That make sense?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Um, I'm going to give you a calendar.

Um, and with this calendar, what you're gonna do

is document your sober support meetings.

And you need to bring that to court with you

every single time you come to court.

This program is 18 months approximately,

and there are three phases

that you'll be progressing through.

- Okay. - All right.

So we'll see you tomorrow, 1:00.

- Do I take that? - Yes. That's yours.

Yeah. You can put that with your gear.

- All right. - All right.

Then let's get started.

It's good to see you, Robert.

I'm glad to be here.

How's his book look? Does he have meetings?

- He's got four online... - Okay.

...um, because we know

he doesn't really have transportation at his mom's.

- Right. - Well, and, see, Greenville,

their transit,

they've done away with out of town picking people up.

So that kind of made it even more hard now.

Okay. Seems like that's happening everywhere.

How's her book look, Mrs. Deao?

Twenty-three meetings and I'm still counting.

Oh, my goodness.

Twenty-six. Twenty-seven. Twenty-eight.

And I got another little piece of paper.

Twenty-nine.

Um, I think I got-- uh, I got to pay something.

I think you do still owe some fines.

- Does he have fines? - Yes, sir, he does.

I think like 350 or something, maybe, is left.

Yeah, I was wondering if I-- Could I just pay it next week?

That's up to the judge.

Um, yeah. You can-- You can pay it next week.

You're working now, so are you able to put in

a little bit on a weekly basis?

- Yeah. Yeah. - All right.

Well, let me see at least you put--

you know, show me some good-faith effort next week

and have at least something paid on it by next week, okay?

- Yes, sir. - All right.

Anything else that we can do for you?

Any concerns or anything like that?

- No. No, sir. - All right.

Just a fan of that tie. Thanks, Jack.

How's your job going?

It's going really well.

- Uh-huh. - Um, I'm adapting to it well.

I'm training on the front-end loader.

- All right. - Actually, I've trained on it.

I'm running it by myself and doing great.

- That's exciting. - Yeah.

It gives me, um-- It really has--

It's helped my self-esteem.

Right. Gives you a feeling of, uh...

- I can do anything. - Right! Uh-huh.

Cody Parsons.

Cody, how you doing today?

- Good. - That's good.

I understand that there is a bit of a living situation

that you have that needs to be addressed.

- Mrs. Deao. - Yes, Your Honor.

As you well know, the men's shelter

and the homeless shelter are both full right now.

- Okay. - He's in his car.

You know, that's a little too tenuous

for us to be satisfied with.

So we're gonna be looking into alternatives.

Hopefully, something will come open

in one of the shelters here soon,

and Mrs. Deao and the treatment team

will talk to you about that, try to get you

in a more stable housing situation, okay?

Yes, sir.

I also understand that you have some kinship

with one Jack Parsons.

- Is that correct? - C.P.!

Yeah. That's my brother back there.

All right.

Well, Jack is-- He's been up and down in here.

He does have a heart of gold, but, you know,

he's not too far removed from a positive drug screen.

It's only about a week.

But Mrs. Deao did tell me that you were raised

as foster brothers.

So I hope that having both of you in here together

will have a positive impact.

You j-- You just get out?

Uh, a couple days ago. Yeah.

Yeah.

You look good, man.

You too.

Free as a bird now.

Yeah. Something like that.

Each crate of pallets, we need a bunch of 26-inchers,

a bunch of 40s, right?

So what I do-- See that block there?

Take this. Come out. Gets you a 26.

Bring your block to the 26. Line it up.

You can do 40, but we're gonna start with 26s, all right?

All right? Twenty-six.

Bunch of two-by-fours over here, right?

So grab that. Come back over here.

Slide your two-by-four all the way down.

Twenty-six inches.

Get it right each time. Take your hand.

This side of the blade. Bunch of good pressure, right?

You got to flick that.

If you don't flick that, it's not gonna go down.

Come down.

Simple as that.

Go for it.

Yeah. Pressure. Bunch of pressure.

Fuckin' amazing.

Throw your scrap pieces... in the scrap bin.

You pile up all your cut pieces here, right?

Pretty sure someone will come around and grab them

once you've got a bunch piled up, right?

- Fuck you, man. - What?

It's just like a bunch of this, a bunch of that.

It's a lot of bunches.

You want a fuckin' job or not?

I appreciate it.

Now, if you need me, don't.

But if you do, I'll be over there on the forklift.

Come on, gentlemen.

Sammy! How are we?

I will fucking...

I'll fuckin' put your ass on the gravel.

Shit!

Shit! Aah!

That's a tap. That's a tap. That's a tap.

Yo.

Yo.

Everything just comes to you? You just bring it?

Hell, yeah.

What's your name?

Uh, Cody.

Cody, I'm Anna. Nice to meet you.

Um, you got another one of those?

Mm-hmm.

It's full service.

Watch this.

You from around here?

Uh, born and raised.

You grow up on a farm or something?

No.

I wish.

I'm from Dayton, but my dad, he grew up around here.

He actually was friends with a guy who lost both his arms

in a farming accident.

And then he-- The guy just, like,

learned to do everything with his feet.

He could, like, read.

He could c-- He could play the guitar.

That's pretty good. Yeah.

He, um, he even, like--

He got his driver's license and everything.

You never seen him? We've seen him--

Sometimes he's going down 70 driving a horse trailer.

He's got both his feet on the wheel, relaxed.

You just get used to it after a while, I guess.

That's crazy.

Cool guy.

Who do you know here?

Um...

You see the guy over there making out with that girl?

Um, that's my brother.

How about you?

See that girl over there,

the one that's making out with your brother?

That's my friend Kim.

Sorry about that.

Yeah.

- See ya. - Okay.

See ya.

Please enter your digital access code.

Your test is scheduled for today,

April 11th, at 11:35 a.m.

Hey. Good morning. Familiar with these?

Uh, yeah.

Bathroom's at the end of the hall.

It'll be right behind you.

Jack.

Yeah.

Yo!

None of the long ones. Just the short ones.

- The halves? - Yeah, the halves.

Pile these up. Not these.

Fuck.

Tia. I see Tia there. Tia, how you doing?

Hi. I'm doing good.

I started my first day at I.P. today.

- Awesome. - Mm-hmm. Good job, girl.

And, um, some treatment place, like,

doing some volunteer work to get my foot in the door

'cause I'm wanting to go back to school and get my CDCA.

Mm!

If you keep doing what you're doing,

we will help you do that, okay?

Thank you. I appreciate that.

You got to be in compliance, though.

You have to follow the program, and if you do that--

We've helped people do that before.

We'd be happy to help you do it too.

Let us know if there's anything else you need, okay?

Jack, come on up.

- Jack. - Mm.

Jim says that you failed a drug screen for alcohol.

Is that right, Jim?

That's right, Your Honor.

What happened?

I-I mean, it was just a couple beers.

- Right. - Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't really feel anything or...

It didn't cause any problems, so...

- Yet. - Huh?

Yet. It hasn't caused any problems yet.

Yeah. But if I, um...

I don't see how.

We have rules for a reason in this program,

and you have to comply with them.

Just because there isn't anything that's happened yet

doesn't mean that you're in compliance, so...

Mm-hmm.

Do you need anything?

Is there anything we can do to help you?

- No. - Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure. - Okay.

Did you bring in payment for the fines,

like we talked about last week?

- No. - Don't have that either.

Why not?

I-I don't got money for it, so...

Right.

If you don't have anything more to say about that,

Mrs. Deao will schedule a hearing on the fines.

And you know the drill.

You're dismissed.

Cody Parsons.

How's his book look, Mrs. Deao?

Uh, Your Honor, he doesn't have his book with him today.

Where's your book, Cody?

Um, it's in my car.

- Is your car here? - Uh, no, sir.

Do you need anything? Is there any concerns?

Is there anything the court can do for you?

Um, no. I'm-- I'm trying. I just-- It's...

When you're in this program, Cody,

you have to comply with the rules.

And if you're not,

then the court has to sanction your behavior.

So what's it gonna be?

Oh, shit.

Shit.

Hey, man, we need to brake. Man, fuck.

Hey.

Hey. Hey. Fuck! We need to brake, man.

Shit. F-- We need to fucking brake, man!

Jack?

Jack.

Wake up, Uncle Monkey.

Wake up. Wake up.

Hey.

Do you want to have breakfast with me?

Sorry if I scared you.

I just needed a place to crash.

I said I'm sorry, Kat.

Okay, let's go get ready.

What?

He's in the kitchen.

- Hey, bud. - No.

- I need you to come with us. - No. No, no, no! No! No!

Come on, bud. You're okay. Come on. You're all right.

I didn't fucking do anything! I didn't do anything!

She's gonna put the cuffs on you.

- Why are you here? - She's gonna search you.

Then we're gonna put you in the car.

- I didn't do anything! - There you go.

Fuck you. I did not do anything.

- The fuck are you here? - Gonna go to the car.

Fuck are you here?! I didn't do anything!

We're just here to help you out, man. Let's go.

Fuck you! I didn't do anything.

- Kat! - Come on, bud.

I didn't do anything.

Turn to your left.

Turn to your left.

How you doing?

You seen Jack?

Well, first I want to talk about you.

Your sister is really concerned about you.

Where's Jack?

The sober living house found Jack passed out this morning

in the hallway.

This is not his first violation,

so we're gonna send him to an intensive treatment center

in Greene County.

They have better tools to work with Jack.

So y'all are just gonna should send him away?

We're not sending him away.

He's not going to jail or prison.

He's going to treatment.

He's going to treatment to get better.

And because he's going to treatment,

it opens up a room at the sober house.

I don't really want that room.

Why not?

'Cause I'm fine in my car.

You're clearly not fine in your car.

Well, you clearly don't know what you're doing with us.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry if you haven't felt supported

or we did something wrong.

You know, but what I am gonna tell you

is that I'm gonna do everything I can

for you and for Jack...

to help you guys get through this.

Let's go get you a Vivitrol shot this afternoon,

and we can figure it out from there what the next step is.

I'll wait for you in the parking lot.

I'll get you booked out.

You'll just feel a little cold.

All right. One, two, three.

All right. Go ahead rub that in.

I'll check in with you later.

- Bye. - Bye.

How ya doin', buddy?

Welcome.

Come on. I'll show you around.

Uh, laundry's in the basement.

If you want me to show you, I can any time you want to.

Man, if you need anything, my door is always open, okay?

All right.

Here we go.

Okay.

Here we go.

Cody.

It's Cody-- Cody, right?

Uh-- Uh, yeah.

- Anna, from... - Oh.

- ...the other night. - Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh. I do--

I do peer support, uh, over at the women's house.

Oh. Right.

I'm another addict they can talk to when--

when they need somebody

who's been through the program and everything and...

Yeah.

- That's cool. - Yeah. It's nuts.

People are crazy.

It's hard sometimes, but I love it.

Um, what's going on here?

Uh... I'm moving in here.

They-- They got me a room.

Oh, nice.

Okay.

You and Jack?

Uh, not exactly.

Okay.

Well, you need a hand with anything?

Uh, I-I'm good.

I think I got it. Thanks, though.

Well, it's good to see you.

I'll see-- I'll see you around... neighbor.

- All right. Bye. - Bye.

Hey, Cody. We're heading out, buddy.

Is that why they released you?

I'm not saying it's not why.

It happens, bro. It happens.

Hey, sweetie. How you doing?

- I'm doing good! - Good. You look good.

You look good.

- Great to see you again. - I know.

Uh, my name is Bethany. I'm an addict.

- Hi, Bethany. - Hi, Bethany.

So, in our reading that we did, it says,

"We begin to identify our feelings

and verbalize our thoughts and emotions."

It's so crazy, 'cause whenever I first got clean,

the only emotions that I knew were the extremes.

Either it was really happy--

which I was never really happy-- or I was angry.

It took me a long time to even be like, "You know what?

This feeling that I'm feeling,

this is, um, hurt, shame, guilt."

You know what I mean? It's all them other feelings.

'Cause I would just be on top of the world

or down in the dirt, you know?

And that was a beautiful feeling.

'Cause I'd be like, "Oh, my gosh.

I'm jealous right now. Oh, my gosh. I have envy."

I don't even know what envy was until I got into recovery.

You know, there was-- It was a beautiful thing.

And then it said that as we share,

we see our members laughing and nodding.

You know what I mean?

'Cause everybody's been through that.

Everybody sits here--

Our stories might not be the same,

but they're still similar.

Our feelings are all the same.

I'm sure we've all had the shame and the guilt

and all them other feelings.

And it's such a good feeling today to be around everybody

and know I'm not different.

I'm not a bad person.

I let drugs rule my life,

but today I don't have to allow that anymore.

Carrie. Alcoholic, addict.

- Hey, Carrie. - Hi, Carrie.

I did drugs and alcohol for a long time

because I didn't want to feel life as life is, you know?

Um, today, this program has taught me

that it's good for me to feel things,

because I don't know how to feel like normal people do.

And the tables and the recovering addicts here

have taught me, like, how to deal with the happiness,

the sadness, the madness, the death, the grit, the--

you know, the emotions that I never, ever wanted to feel.

And, um, I'm grate-- so grateful for these rooms,

because this is my cure.

And so with that,

it's a good day to be clean, and I'll pass.

- Thank you. - Thanks, Carrie.

Um, I'm Cody, and I'm an addict.

- Hi, Cody. - Hi, Cody.

I've been addicted to opiates since I was 17,

and, uh, I'm part of the Adult Recovery Court program.

And... that's why I'm here.

Uh, pass.

- Glad you're here. - Thanks, Cody.

Glad you're here.

You mind, uh, giving me a hand with this thing?

How much are you gonna pay me?

Um... it'd have to be like an IOU situation.

Just hold on to the black part.

- There might be sharp bits. - Okay.

- All right. - Ow!

Are you ser-- Oh.

Don't do that.

All right.

Okay. Yeah. We'll just put it down here.

Thanks.

Sure.

Now what?

I would offer to, like...

...give you driving lessons or something.

But...

Or you could just drive me places.

I always wanted a chauffeur.

You sure you want the, uh, guy with the crashed car

to be your chauffeur?

Well, you know, me, I always drug-test my drivers.

It's the first thing I do.

I just want to make sure that we're gonna get...

we're gonna get there in one piece.

That's-- That's probably smart.

Yeah.

Yeah. I got to go.

All right.

You going to the graduation?

Um...

Yeah, I'm... thinking about it.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. I'll see you there.

- Bye. - Bye.

Thanks to Adult Recovery Court,

I have learned that I don't need drugs to be happy.

True happiness comes from building a life

that I am proud of,

a life that doesn't revolve around drugs.

Today, I have a job I am proud of, working with Bahan Law.

I have my own apartment.

I have reconnected with my family.

That connection means more to me than I can put into words.

I want to thank Judge Braig

and the staff at Adult Recovery Court

for their tough love and support.

You showed me that I'm capable

of more than I had ever thought,

and they gave me the push I needed when I...

when-- sorry--

push I needed when I was ready to give up.

And to everyone still in the program,

just let me say the hardest day in drug court

is still easier than any day on drugs.

- Is that okay with you? - I can do that.

- Did I bring enough? - Look over here.

- Got a little wet. - Yeah. Just wait a minute.

My husband was like, "Wait.

You're gonna burn the house down."

I'm like, "You borrowed the thing, and I told you not to."

There's a story of a snake

that was sleeping with their owner

just to size them up to eat them.

- Oh, my God. - I heard that story.

Like, boa constrictors? Those big, huge one.

It would not eat 'cause it was saving room for her.

- Take it? - Yep.

Easiest thing we've done.

Yeah. There we g--

Sorry.

Gonna pop all those too?

Yeah.

My job here is done.

Wow.

Where do you think you're gonna go after this?

Um...

Thought about moving to Columbus, maybe, after.

Oh.

Me and Jack always talked about moving there.

Nice to get away.

And a friend of mine from high school

has, like, a bookstore there,

so I thought maybe I could get a job there.

Maybe. I don't know. What about you?

Well, I'm gonna be there... in the fall.

Like, part time, at least.

I'm, um...

I'm gonna go back to school.

- Oh. - Mm.

What for?

What?

Nothing. I just, like...

I'm gonna be a therapist.

You'll be good at that.

You think?

Yeah.

That's nice.

I've been rethinking it a little bit lately.

Like, 'cause it's, like...

Like, if everybody here leaves, then, like...

who's gonna be here for the people who can't?

I don't know what I'm talking about.

No. It-- It makes sense.

Makes a lot of sense.

Well, you're easy to talk to, I guess.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I just-- I-I can't.

I can't right now.

I want to.

I'm just really working on...

...moving towards custody and stuff and, you know,

like, just with my own shit going on...

- No. I get it. - I'm really just trying...

...not to get involved.

Yeah. Sorry. I...

I'm desperate for a job.

I've been applying for everywhere.

You've been applying for a while now.

Yeah. Um, well, this last week especially.

And I had two interviews last week.

I got hired at T.J. Maxx,

but they got to do a background check first,

and I'm not confident in that now.

- Right. - But, um, they said

as long as my background check comes back good,

I'm good to start working there whenever they start up

on May 19th.

All right. Very good.

Good luck with the-- with everything.

Have a good day.

All right.

I'm gonna start with the folks on video.

Jack, how you doing?

I'm good. How are you doing, sir?

Doing good. Thanks for asking.

How are they treating you down there at Christopher House?

Good. Real good.

It's, uh, it's going good, man.

It's quiet.

Um, real quiet.

When I first got here I didn't know what to do with myself,

but, uh, you know, I'm, uh, fishing--

fishing and stuff and, you know, taking it easy.

I, um, I'm gonna ask.

You catch that Reds game last night?

Oh, I sure did. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Yeah.

I mean, shit-- um, pardon my-- my language.

Um, dang! I mean, that was something, huh?

It was something. Yeah. All right.

It's good to see you. Take care, okay, Jack?

All right. Yep.

- Bye, Jack. - Bye, now.

See ya.

Trevor. I'm an addict.

- Hey, Trevor. - Hey, Trevor.

I actually was married for a while,

and both me and my wife went down the wrong paths.

Neither one of us could say no.

And we basically fueled each other

to continue to do drugs until it got to the point

to where I made a decision in my life to--

to get better for my kids.

I have three daughters.

I mean, I've been clean three years now,

and I still feel bad when I look at my kids

because I think at the time that I didn't have with them.

But I can say that I got full custody of my girls.

I've been clean for three years.

And they're with me now,

and I coach their T-ball team and their softball team,

and I absolutely love my girls to death.

- That's awesome. - So keep in there, guys.

Keep working hard, okay?

Get yourself around good people.

- Yes. - Good people.

Like you said, it's people, places, and things, for sure.

For sure. I pass.

- Thanks, Trevor. - Thanks, Trevor.

I knew Trevor when he was a baby.

Me and his mom were, like, really, really good friends.

So sometimes, like, sitting here, I'm embarrassed,

because, you know, I'm the mom.

I have kids his age,

and it's embarrassing for me at this age to be an addict.

So when I seen him--

And I never really knew your story, so...

But I know your mom and dad are very proud of you,

and I see all the pictures of all your girls.

So congratulations, buddy.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Now I'm here-- I'm almost--

I'll have my six months next month, so, I mean...

- Nice. - That's a big deal.

Keep coming. Keep coming.

Working to get my family back, so with that, I pass.

- Thanks, Shannon. - Thank you, Shannon.

- Love you. - I'm Cody, and I'm an addict.

- Hey, Cody. - Hey, Cody.

Um...

Well, I guess...

there's something I've been thinking about.

Um, my mom used to call me a hurricane.

And, um...

Which I never really understood what it meant,

and, um... I guess doing this,

I'm, like, starting to see it a little bit more.

Um... I was the first person to give my brother heroin.

My brother Jack, seven years ago.

Um, he's not my real brother. He's my, uh, foster brother.

But t was never really like that when we were growing up.

It was never really, like, different.

And, um...

...he and my sister, like, were really close for a while.

I guess they just have, uh,

personalities that click, you know?

And, um, I was kinda...

...really breaking into her house a lot, you know?

Stealing stuff, and, um...

...I would use her place to go and shoot up

when I didn't have, like, anywhere else to go.

She kicked me out a lot.

Um...

And she found out about Jack using

when she found us in her bathroom.

And I guess we were in pretty bad shape, and, um...

...she called an ambulance.

And, um...

Sorry.

- You're all right. - It's all right.

Wasn't until I came around a little bit later

and saw her looking at Jack in the hospital bed...

...I kind of realized, you know, um...

I'd just never really seen her like that before.

So it made me think, and, um...

I think just doing this and...

...going to meetings and talking about it,

it's the first time I've really, like,

seen it in a different way, you know?

So... um, yeah, I'm just trying to work it out.

Um, with that, I pass.

- Thanks, Cody. - We're glad you're here.

Hey.

Hi.

Just wondered if I could come in and just say hi.

You want to try to put that in there?

I'm gonna put this.

I like this.

I connected.

Hey. You did. Nice.

You ever tried eating it without a spoon?

No.

You've never seen that?

Check this out. Ready?

You want to try?

There you go.

One time when I was little, I got it all over my face.

I looked like Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Who is that?

- You don't know who Casper is? - No.

You've never seen Casper the Friendly Ghost?

No. Mnh-mnh.

You never showed her that?

No.

Oh.

- All right. - You'd love it.

I think it's bedtime, Miss Harley.

Now that you're all sugared up.

Perfect time for bed.

Say thank you for all the burgers and the wood.

You got some good work done.

All right.

I'll see you soon.

Found those the other day.

I think it's like his fifth birthday party or something.

I think you're right.

Have you heard from him?

Mm-hmm.

How's he doing?

Uh, he's good.

He says he's back on the path to graduating.

This summer, I think.

Um, he's working at a kitchen down there.

Seems like he likes it.

He asked about you.

He said he'd tried to call.

What'd you tell him?

I didn't know.

I know you and me, um, never really, like...

Maybe you didn't want to hear from me.

But I want to tell you that I'm sorry.

Been going to a lot of these meetings and, um...

...seeing it all...

...a lot of the stuff that happened.

And, um...

Yeah, best I can do is take, like,

a really close look at it and...

...make sure you know that I'm sorry.

I just don't know what you want me to say.

I don't either.

I just wanted to tell you and make sure you knew.

I think that there's just...

...a lot that I cannot understand.

And there's just a lot that I do not know how to forgive.

All right. Let's see.

That's working.

It worked.

You've been with us now four months,

and, you know, we're kind of looking back at the calendar.

Uh, doing well. Doing your meetings.

You know, you're a good example

for the new people coming in.

How do you feel about where you're at in your recovery?

Um, yeah, I think pretty good.

We think so, too.

The judge thinks so.

Matter of fact, he'd like to promote you to phase two.

- Really? - Yeah. Absolutely.

So you need to work on a letter.

Bring it to court on Monday.

Okay.

Thanks.

What is it?

They found him in the employee restroom

at McKinley's before his shift was about to start.

It was fentanyl.

An ambulance was called,

and they tried to resuscitate him there

and again numerous times on the way to the hospital,

which is where he passed away.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello?

Cody?

I'm so sorry.

Everybody said he was doing so well.

He was. He was.

I just...

I didn't think it was gonna end up this way.

I know.

You know, one of the things I've learned

over the years doing this is that...

it's never really anyone's fault.

It's not Jack's fault.

It's not my fault.

It's not your fault.

I know that's hard to believe, but it's true.

Cody, I'm gonna stay on the phone with you

as long as you need me to.

I'm here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Man.

I'm writing this letter

to begin phase two of Adult Recovery Court.

I'd like to start by thanking the judge,

Jim, Eric, Mandy, Gary, Annette, peer support,

and everyone else who has helped me get to this point.

You really care about us and our recovery.

You want us to do better for ourselves

and for the people around us, and that means a lot.

I'd also like to thank

the other participants in the program

for setting a good example for me to follow

and supporting me when I thought about giving up

or I didn't want to be here.

This is a day...

Sorry.

This is a day I didn't think I'd get to.

My brother Jack should be standing up here.

I accept that that's not possible...

...and that's something I can't change.

But with the support of you all,

I have the courage to keep going

and to change the things I can.

In phase two, I will work towards getting my own place

and finding a sponsor.

I will continue to rebuild my trust

with-- with people and my family.

I hope I can be a better brother, a better uncle,

and a better friend moving forward

and someone who people can rely on.

This is definitely the hardest thing I've ever done,

but I'm grateful to be here.

I'm gonna keep working. Thank you.

- That's great. - Whoo!

I know you worked real hard at it, Cody,

and, uh, you've done a great job here in this phase.

And so the court is promoting you to phase two.

Congratulations.

Great job.

Here. We got a little something for you.

There's your certificate.

Thanks. Thank you.

- See you in a few weeks. - Thank you. Appreciate it.

Devonte.

Hey, buddy.

No, I think you're fine.

- How you doing, Devonte? - Good.

That's good. How was your weekend?

Um, my weekend was all right. The kids are...
