Good Morning!  If you are trapped in addiction does that make you a bad person?  The clear answer on today's podcast is NO!  You are not a bad person.  You are a good person who happens to be trapped in addiction, and trying to deal with the pain of addiction can lead to bad choices and bad decisions, but it does not mean you are a bad person.  Don't stay trapped in your a...
