Substance abuse and mental health issues plague the chronic illness community. Mykee Dilks-Byrne was diagnosed with MS after she gained her sobriety over alcohol. She told me it is a daily struggle to maintain, but focusing on compassion and gratitude does help. Listen as she shares her story of addiction, mental illness, recovery, and MS diagnosis. If you struggle with substance abuse, please call the National Drug and Alchohol Treatment Hotline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

BTW, recorded this while I was ill so you will hear it in my voice and I think I had a bit of brain fog. Thank you for your grace.
