There's only one way that I got through this, and that's through my higher power, and I can remember getting on my knees and crying out to god for help, and help came in the form of a man named Lonzo Lowry um. You know, I'm making arrangements for someone to take my dog. And um, that man, that man, saved my life.
Imagine living a double life, not as a spy, but as someone hiding their struggle with alcohol. That's the gripping story John B shares on this episode of 'Sober Exposure'.
