This week's Warstory is a good one! Melissa from Rehab Barbie podcast joins us to share what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. Melissa's journey to surrender was not an easy one. Even though she drank alcoholically from the get-go, it was Adderall that really got its hooks in her. After finally giving that up, she refused to think of alcohol as a problem until it too became undeniable. Now, after finally surrendering, hear what life is like for her today. HINT: awesome. It's awesome.
