Choosing the "Light Side"
Special Guest -- Dr. Ryan Joseph Allen
From Dr. Allen: "Ever since I was little my mom would tell me, "You must choose the Light Side not the Dark Side... the Force is strong within you, young Ry-Gon." She could feel the pull in both directions for me on my journey, even from such a young age. It took me until my sobriety over 12 years ago to really understand how and why the "Dark Side" had such a profound grasp on my life and my LIGHT."
