A BIG fear for moms is that our kids will hang out with the wrong people and get addicted to nicotine, alcohol or drugs. Our guest today, Jackie Polk was the perfect teen in High School and yet started hanging out with the wrong people and tried drugs. She quickly became addicted. Jackie can help you protect your teens with very practical advice from her experience as an ex-addict.
