Today I have a brand new car that my dad pays for because he trusts me. I'm not saying: baby them and let them make it easy to where they don't want to recover. They want to get clean for themselves, not for anybody else but for themselves.

In this heartfelt episode of 'Recover & Discover', Jessica opens up about her own struggles with addiction and the unique challenges that the festive season brings.
