Summary
Former professional basketball player, author and speaker Chris Herren joins Annie to discuss the first day of exposure to alcohol as a child in an unbalanced household.
Often we talk about the worst days of addiction, but Chris explains why discussing the impacts of day one can help us truly understand the progression of alcohol addiction overtime.
Tune in to hear how Chris now shares his powerful story to thousands of kids who are living with the same impacts of alcohol in the home, and how he offers them a way to navigate their way back to balance.
