    Thank you so much for sharing this episode. I am not lying when I say this is the BEST podcast episode that I have EVER watched and listened to. I never comment on UA-cam videos ever...I don't think that I ever have. I am about almost 7 years deep, deep, deep into alcohol addiction (never taken drugs in my life) but this podcast really opened up a lot to me about addiction and life in general. Thank you Hannah and thank you Ryan. I have been following both of your TikTok accounts for quite some time now and I appreciate everything you are doing to share this side of your lives with the public. I wish you BOTH all the best in the future and I hope that one day I can be doing the same for people in addiction as you both are now. Thank you.
