Riley traveled Route 66 alone during the darkest stage of her alcoholism. What started as an escape turned into a harsh look at the reality of her addiction. She shares what that journey was truly like and how it became a turning point. Riley has now been sober for over two years, and this story is a reminder of how far healing can take you.
