Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction and despair? In this episode of 'Missed the Mark', host Mark Perry chats with Calista, a friend he's known for over two decades. Calista opens up about her turbulent journey from feeling out of place in childhood to battling addiction and eventually finding her way to sobriety.

Calista also shares her thoughts on welcoming back those who struggle with chronic relapse, stressing the importance of focusing on one's own journey while being supportive of others. Throughout the episode, you'll find yourself inspired by Calista's resilience and the transformative power of sobriety.
Her insights on empathy and self-forgiveness offer valuable lessons for anyone on a similar path. Tune in to hear Calista's compelling story and gain some practical advice on staying sober and living a more fulfilling life.
