Trigger warning: suicide attempt, domestic violence, sexual assault

In today's episode Early interviews their friend EK. They describe seeing their family use alcohol and cigarettes while they were a kid. EK's drinking and use stopped being fun at a very young age, as they navigated survival through abusive relationships. They describe self medicating after reaching out for help with the pain of experiencing sexual assault and depression. After a close encounter with the law, they had an epiphany, and received some really good advice from friends, and started a journey towards sobriety.
