I love recovery road so mulch it is a great show that a lot of people can relate to because it is centered around a very real topic: addiction. It is also educational too if you think about it. The television show shows us all the negative effects of addiction and it’s effects on the addicts family as well. Please do not cancel this show!!!

I watched the first three episodes of Recovery Road in one sitting. As a newly recovering alcoholic, I could relate to Maddie and the people in the house so much. Words of wisdom the characters have each other were advice that has been given to me numerous times before. Very realistic. The characters are so loveable! I can’t wait to see more!!
Thank you for reading, Lauren, and thank you especially for sharing your journey with us. Best wishes to you.
