"It's never too late. And it's never really hopeless, ever." –Dr. Adi Jaffe

Recovery is not a "fix" and neither is it measured by mere abstinence. The impression we get must go beyond what the eyes can see. To really work out the issue, a solid connection and understanding must be established. No one is better than the other. Some just had a better circumstance; thus, sympathy plays a major role in recovery. Discover the epigenetics of addiction and how shaming becomes a destroyer in a deeper sense. Travel through the untold stories behind why people become hesitant to undergo treatment and how to effectively address them. Today's episode serves as a testimony that it's never too late. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and it gets brighter every step you take. So go on and don't lose hope.
