And so we go through the rest of the week and my friend leaves and it's my wife and I's last day there.

So I couldn't have yelled at somebody or said something like terrible anymore than I could have jumped up and flown.

And...

It just, the healing energy in that house exists and it's real.

For our last meal, because we were leaving the next morning, so our last meal before we fly home, there was a place that was very, very special to me when I was there.

And the retreat I went to as well, because I wanted to give them a major shout out as the mission within.

I got permission from them, you know, to give the shout out.

It's called the Classic Malt Shop.

And if you are a vet, a first responder, I can't recommend them enough.

It's in San Diego.

And it's like this 50-style diner owned by these two brothers who are just the best guys.

I mean, they, you know, nothing short of saved my life.

So after we get set in, we spend a day there.

And...

I would go there like probably four or five nights a week during selections, like all the time.

We don't eat because you do have to fast before the medicine.

There were six veterans total there, including myself.

I mean, you're burning like 10,000 calories a day, so you can eat whatever you want.

There were two guys that ran the retreat, a psychologist and then the ops lead.

So I would go and just, you know, eat everything on the menu.
