KidneyTalk this week takes on a difficult and very serious topic—drug and alcohol addiction among kidney patients. Lori and Stephen chat with Bobby Walker, a fellow kidney patient, who has lived a life involving drug and alcohol abuse. Lori, Stephen, and Bobby discuss the issues of addiction, including how it affects families.
Tune in to listen to Bobby’s amazing, courageous, and inspiring story. He’s touching hearts and changing lives and he’ll touch your heart and change your life, too. This is definitely a remarkable story about hope.
You can also listen to the podcast on iTunes.
