In this heartfelt episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Britt opens up to host Joanie Sigal about his journey to sobriety, which began in July 2015.

Beyond his personal recovery, Britt now dedicates his time to helping others as a counselor at the local ER in Greenville, SC. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of education, support, and accountability in overcoming addiction. This episode offers valuable insights and hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
