Matt McGiboney's Relapse Story: Finding Strength in Setbacks
“The main, least thing I ever did in my life was admit when I'm wrong and admit that I do have feelings and my feelings are valid. It's got me to where I am Today, and that includes my relapse, because I was able to learn from that, and that's been a key for me as well- is being able to learn from that and to grow from that, to be the best version of me that I can be Today.”
