What happens when addiction becomes part of our story, but doesn't have to define who we are?

On Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillan and psychotherapist Lauren Leon McMillan welcome author Erica Kent to discuss her powerful novel Black Dog, a coming-of-age story exploring addiction, loss, identity, and recovery.

Together, they examine the complexities of sobriety, the importance of empathy over judgment, and how creativity, humor, and storytelling help us navigate life's darker experiences. Discover why recovery isn't simply a journey from darkness to light, and how understanding our stories can deepen our connection to ourselves and others.
