In this episode of Tribe Sober, hosted by Janet Gourand, Nikki opens up about her early years marked by constant relocations and parents who struggled with their own drinking habits.
Feeling like an outsider, Nikki found solace in drugs and alcohol from a very young age. By her late 20s, Nikki hit rock bottom and checked into rehab for the first time.

The real work starts afterward, as one navigates the complexities of life without substances. Nikki's story is a powerful reminder that perseverance and finding one's purpose are crucial elements in overcoming addiction.
