I act out on my addiction a lot and because I am powerless over it, and with addiction my life is unmanageable, even when I'm not using, and so I have to stay alert and work on those things once again, like always.

This episode is a blend of raw emotion and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Meredith's honesty is both touching and motivating, encouraging listeners to take that first step towards seeking help and breaking free from the cycle of addiction.
