“Stop letting satan destroy you and shame you to death and tell you how bad you are because you accidentally, or sometimes even on purpose, added a feature into your life and learned something that you soothed with, that had ill effects.”

Bertagnolli sheds light on the myths surrounding addiction, breaking down the walls of misunderstanding that keep so many trapped.
