When I was a kid, my teeth were pretty messed up, and my parents were aware. At the time I wasn’t particularly concerned, but my mother knew that without some corrective measures, high school was probably going to […]

One of the questions I see the most from people who have recently decided to try sobriety is the vague, but pertinent, “what do I do now?”
