Realizing that you are not going to find the answer inside yourself but need some guidance in your recovery is a big step forward towards sobriety.

Dr. Jacques emphasizes that putting aside pride and seeking help—whether from professionals or fellow recoverees—can make all the difference.
If you're grappling with substance use disorder or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and actionable steps towards a brighter future.
