December 2018- Active addiction is a subject not everyone is familiar with, it is an illness and a disease that has a light shone brightly upon it in this podcast. In this two part conversation as part of her Fishing For The Truth series, Nia hears from Nick Hayes about his own experience with addiction and the dark places it led him to. Almost 3 years clean and sober, his is a vital story that needs to be heard and shared so it can raise awareness and potentially help others.
