Throughout the conversation, Angie highlights the significance of relapse prevention and attending meetings to stay focused on her recovery journey.
She also stresses the importance of understanding and supporting others who might have different experiences with addiction. Angie’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset.
