It takes more than good intentions to overcome an addiction - just ask Dr. Ted Carroll. Today, he's a practicing licensed mental health counselor and a national certified counselor with a Ph.D in Counselor Educationa and Supervision, but he's also a recovering addict - an ongoing journey that he says he'll be on for the rest of his days. But believe it or not, it's not all downsides.
