I think you're good once you come back Next Week. And you know, once a friend of mine went to temple and he said: I'm, you know, I'm like Carlton Carice. But I initially all I wanted to do was be of service and help others to get off of drugs and alcohol, you know.
What happens when a high-flying fashion model turns her life around to help others find sobriety?
