Lindsay V. Shares Her Journey: Addiction, Recovery, and a Zombie Apocalypse Plan
One of the things that I've come to realize is the importance of telling your story authentically is that you don't know exactly how it's affecting other people. So you know, I changed my phone number, I kind of just dove in and I started hanging out with people in the room, other people. So you know, I try to really stress that to others that find your tribe, because it's going to save your ass.
