This is a mantra that I believe is crucial to finding lasting recovery and mental peace. Dr. H has an incredible way of extracting these survival guides from his collection of stories. As someone who struggles with mental health and a history of drug and alcohol abuse, this podcast provides validation and hope in a way I haven’t felt before. Thank you Dr. H, I’m honored and grateful to be working with you. (L from Together S.O.B.E.R. Podcast)
