The person that I am now, as challenging as I can be, is a better person than I was when I was drinking, and I can't go back to that.
Ever wondered how someone can rise above the twin challenges of sexual harassment and addiction?

As JP poignantly states, 'The person that I am now, as challenging as I can be, is a better person than I was when I was drinking, and I can't go back to that'.
This episode is a heartfelt and eye-opening look at the power of community and self-love in the journey to sobriety. Perfect for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community or allies seeking to understand the complexities of addiction and recovery.
