Knowing that I could end up in ICU on a ventilator, knowing that every person I walked past may have been exposed because I was exposed... that scares the heck out of me.

In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Ginny Carnes, a board member of Montana's Peer Network, opens up about her personal journey through quarantine after being exposed to the virus.

If you've ever wondered how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of quarantine, this episode is for you.
