Don’t wait until addiction causes you (or a loved one) to “hit bottom”. Addiction is highly predictable and can be outsmarted, which means you're NOT POWERLESS! Subscribers of this channel are empowered to take back their lives and loved ones back from addiction. Hello 👋🏻, my name is Amber. I've been dealing with addiction my whole life! I grew up in an addicted family and later became a Master Addiction Counselor. So, I understand addiction from both perspectives.

Stop wasting your energy on power struggles, resentment, and self-pity, and you'll be able to beat addiction once and for all. Don't believe me?!? Stick around, and I'll prove it to you!
