This show is amazing. I have a loved one whose substance abuse has led me to seek learning and healing. Ashley and her producers bring it with topics and the guests and their stores are so incredibly inspiring. Do yourself a favor and work your way through the episodes. You’ll be so glad you did!

Highlight of my week is listening to the latest podcast. I learn so much as a former alcoholic and keeps me in check as I am surrounded by addiction in my family. This is my sober community!

LaurenGrey3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/21
Love the show, but it would be so much better if the host would let her guests speak! Not every show has to be her story. She could also stop glorifying drugs.
