If you have any questions at all or want to share a comment, please feel free to contact us or follow/like our facebook page (@realaddictiontalk). This can be a hard subject for some people as there are a lot of people who don’t believe that addiction is a disease and that it’s more of a “choice”. Again, I want to thank you for your support and looking forward to hearing your thoughts about this episode. Thanks!
