Loving it
Love it! From San Diego
Useless
I listened to the social media episode. These two had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Bring a former addict doesn’t make you an EXPERT. Bring on someone with credentials. Waste of time.
Truthful and helpful conversations about addiction and recovery
A really helpful podcast to demystify recovery and addiction.
