Cocaine, Veganism, and the Environment: A Surprising Connection
Veganism is a really big one that I think I run into it with other people a lot, because if you've seen one of those documentaries, or you know or understand the destruction of how bad the dairy and the meat industry is, and you continue to eat meat, that's cognitive dissonance.

Danny and Devon offer practical suggestions and heartfelt encouragement for those grappling with addiction.
