Dylan is THE example that being sober is not only cool, but it&apos;s a life worth living. He was a fentanyl addict. Dope Sick. He was so desperate he stole from his daughters piggy bank just to get a fix. Now, Dylan is not only sober, but his life is incredible. His marriage is the strongest it&apos;s ever been. He gets to be the best dad for his daughter, and he&apos;s kicking ass at real estate in Arizona. Dylan heard my story on the radio (Holmberg&apos;s Morning Sickness) two years ago and says that was one of his "ah ha" moments. He&apos;s become my brother in recovery and I&apos;m so grateful he&apos;s sober because this guy WILL save lives by simply living his life clean.

Leah is the example to never give up on yourself no matter how many times you stumble. The reality is that most recovered addicts have relapsed. Many 12 step programs like to preach that "relapse doesn&apos;t have to be part of your story", but the reality is that it is most peoples&apos; story. Why is there shame around relapse? Why do we "look down" on those who continue to relapse? Leah gives a powerful testimony for those who&apos;ve been knocked down and are afraid to ask for help.
