From Sober Homes to Independence: Brianna and Justin's Journey
I think we have a strong recovery base up here. I think that we're pretty insulated from a lot of the world's ills, you know, because it's such a small community, and yet you still have access to a lot of things that you can do, you know, up here in cities and places if you need it.
