Mikayla's Journey: Honesty and Recovery in the Service Industry
“But let's do something about it, let's not tell ourselves that it's okay and just move on from it, because I think that's what kept me in my addiction for so long, is I would tell myself that I'm okay, that I got this and just move on from it and never deal with it.”
