Have you ever wondered how someone can rebuild their life after a decade of self-destruction? In this episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie sits down with S.A. Blair, author of 'The Difference: a memoir'. Blair opens up about her tumultuous past, marked by heroin addiction, multiple expulsions, arrests, and even suicide attempts.
