Clarissa's Journey: From Food Addiction to Recovery Counselor
“If you're still struggling, like maybe food could be another avenue for you to explore that could enhance your sobriety, well, good old fashioned saying you are what you eat right, and you feel like you feel like everything you pick up, not healthy.”
