Joey's Path to Sobriety: Finding Hope in the LGBTQ+ Community
“I love rehab, I love showing up and working on me and figuring out how I can be better, and I think a lot of people are unable to have that mindset, especially when, at the bottom or at the height of their addiction, it's all dark and they can't see the way out.”

This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showcasing the profound impact of specialized care and community support.
