Facing the Fallout: Embracing Consequences in Recovery
“And I think the fear is, for the person who's looking at the addict is man. They're just going to go right back to it. And look at the stuff you have to deal with man. I think the answer to both of those is the same, in that I believe what the enemy meant to harm you.”
What happens when the dust settles after a life consumed by addiction? This episode of 'Life After Addiction' takes you through the challenging yet essential process of facing the consequences of past actions.
