This was a particularly meaningful episode, especially for Jody and her brother David. They describe this as a “family disease,” since SUD impacts not just the individual, but everyone who cares about them. Jody, David, and Danny also shared extensively about their past experiences from their perspectives during the days in active addiction. Sober Friends of NY and Jody Out Loud are eager to continue spreading awareness to SUD and recovery. Please support us by subscribing to our YouTube channel to watch real, raw, conversations.
