In this episode of The Recovery Hub Podcast, Ross shares his rollercoaster journey with alcohol addiction and recovery. Ross, a lively and charismatic individual, defies the typical narrative often associated with addiction.

The hosts and guests explore the complex relationship between mental health and substance use, aiming to shed light on the realities of addiction beyond the stigma.
