This is one of our most highly anticipated guest returns. Zen friends, please welcome back to Barrett Gargala. This time she is joined in the studio with her father, Nick Gargala. You first met Barrett on Ep#68, as she recounted her battle with addiction. Barrett's story covered her relapse and how the love and acceptance of her family were instrumental in her seeking the help she needed. It was one of our most powerful episodes to date, so it only seemed appropriate to have her again to answer the question--- what's next? Since Nick Gargala (aka Papa G) is over 30 years sober and was such a pivotal roll in Barrett's story, we wanted to have him on to help shed light on how he coped with Barrett's struggle with addiction. Today's episode is an emotional story of Papa G's road to recovery, addiction through the eyes of a father, and how Barrett plans on sharing her story to empower others. The path of healing is long and messy. Enjoy the show.
