This week, we chat with strangers on Atlanta GA's East Beltline trail who share their personal experiences with addictions ranging from social media, the search for community validation, and substance abuse.  If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction in the United States, please call the national Substance Abuse and Mental Health Hotline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) for free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information services (in English and Spanish).
