You never know who may need to hear your story. Who might need to look within and make the decision to start again. Grateful to share a message of the first day of substance use, not the last. #HerrenTalks #firstday #justone #InTheirWords

You do not need to use a substance to change who you are; you are perfect just the way you are. You are a warrior. You have a super power. Don't let go of it. 💜 #HerrenTalks #chrisherren #realtalk #firstday #justone #warrior #superpower
