They offer practical advice on how to cope with these overwhelming emotions, such as talking to a therapist or a trusted friend, and turning to a higher power for those who are spiritually inclined. This episode is a raw and honest look at the emotional battles that come with addiction and recovery, offering hope and practical steps for those struggling with these issues.
