Summary

Is there a difference between sobriety and recovery? Would you believe that addiction affects every single one of us? Can anybody recover from addiction? The answer to these questions is yes! In this episode we learn about the hard road of addiction, sobriety, and recovery from Mandi Gubler. Known for her widely popular DIY and renovation website and Instagram “Vintage Revivals,” Mandi is sharing a piece of her story with us—the story of her husband’s past addiction to prescription pain pills.
