It sparks a bigger conversation about habits, identity shifts and what sustained recovery really takes.We’re then joined by Abby, who opens up about her ketamine addiction, how it escalated, and what recovery has looked like for her. She also talks about why she is now using her platform to raise awareness about the very real dangers of ketamine use.Real conversations. Real recovery.
