Hey guys! In todays episode I chat with the inspiring Aaron!
He walks us through his journey with addiction to alcohol and cocaine and the recovery that followed. From hiding his usage, ultimatums from loved ones and going to rehab he tells us what it looked like and speaks about his path to eight years of sobriety (and counting!)
I have to say, I think this is the episode that I have learned the most in so far, and I hope that it may be the same for many of you listening.
