I wouldn't change a thing. My addiction even brought me back to my creative side because at one point I was doing acting when I was a kid and then I had abandoned that. And I feel like it creatively made its way back into my life, but because of my addiction, which is interesting because my addiction is what took it away in the first place. So I wouldn't trade it.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and then using that very place as a launchpad for a life full of purpose and success. That's exactly what Jeannine Coulter did.
