“Your cost has been a loss of empathy for others, because the sober young man I know would not want his sisters or his mother crying and praying for a safe return.”
Imagine pouring your heart out to a loved one in the throes of addiction.

Despite the sorrow, Hank's message is one of hope, urging his son to embrace sobriety and cherish relationships. This episode is part one of a two-part series, and it's a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
