In the Open

America and Theresa bring on Vicente to explore how to deal with cravings. Vicente shares his journey growing up in a low-income party town and how those experiences fueled his addictions. They talk about the moment when Vicente decided to stop drinking, why he had to become the man of the family and how he found a sense of community in his local teen center.
