This is Marci Hopkins from the morning show called Wake Up with Marci, and she's going to share with us about her own personal recovery journey. Welcome. We're so glad you're here, Marci.
Thank you, Amber. Thank you for having me. It's so great to be here.
I love that you're willing to be so vulnerable and share these things because it helps so many. And I know these things are hard to talk about. Putting yourself out there is not easy, so we really appreciate it.
You got it. It was hard in the beginning, but now I do it with purpose. And so I know that it helps to be open, and it helps us ourselves through our own healing to be honest and open with our stories.
Well, we certainly appreciate it. Can you tell us a little bit about the beginning of your story?
