working on their recovery. I tell the client, “I’m rooting for you. I’m in your corner.”
Fun Fact
He shares a two-person book club called the “Fat-Dot Book Club” with his daughter where we read a book, discuss it, and if there’s a movie based on the book, we watch it together, complaining the whole time that, “This doesn’t follow the book at all!”
