For me there's a version of my sobriety where I stopped drinking and drugging but was still constantly trying to run a game on the world and ended up in jail myself.
Ever wondered how a TV show about a shady lawyer can resonate with themes of addiction and recovery?

Nelson also emphasizes the importance of support systems, sharing how crucial they have been in his own journey.
