We have to admit that there is a problem, because only then can we begin to work on a solution.
Ever caught yourself wondering, 'Am I an addict?' This episode of the Soberoso podcast might just have the answers you're looking for.

Dora's candid approach makes it clear that recognizing a problem is the first step towards recovery.
She also highlights the importance of sharing stories and using platforms like social media to show support, especially during Recovery Month.
