Bryanna Wallace's story is a rollercoaster ride through the dark valleys of addiction and the bright peaks of recovery. Joining hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler on 'Let The Journey Begin', Bryanna opens up about her tumultuous journey that began with an emotionally absent parent, a sports injury, and the chaos of switching schools during high school. These events steered her towards a party lifestyle, leading to the use of crystal meth at just 17 and later, alcohol.
Toxic relationships only added fuel to the fire, pushing her deeper into addiction.
