It's about the discipline of going and working out, even when I don't feel like it, and honestly, I mean, I feel like this is like a huge plug for recovery. But recovery has taught me how to do that.
What happens when beauty queens take on the battle against addiction? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos welcomes two remarkable women who are using their crowns to shine a light on addiction prevention and recovery.
