Dr. Nicole Labor: Breaking the Chains of Addiction
“The worst person I can be is the one I create based on what I think you think of me.”

In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Dr.
Labor to unpack her journey through addiction, recovery, and the pressures of maintaining a facade of perfection.

Dr. Labor also discusses her book, 'The Addictholic Deconstructed', which serves as a raw and insightful guide for anyone looking to overcome addiction. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the human spirit's resilience, Dr.
Labor’s story is a beacon of hope and authenticity.
