I had to work my ass off for my first vehicle in sobriety. We were roommates in the halfway house we lived in for like a year.

They share their personal stories of the hurdles they faced, from financial barriers to the sheer logistics of getting around without a vehicle.
It's not just about driving; it's about reclaiming independence and navigating life with newfound freedom. Joe and Erin discuss how they leaned on their community for support, whether it was asking for rides to meetings or seeking financial help.

As Joe poignantly states, 'Driving is a privilege that I never want to take for granted again'.
