Imagine being 14 and knowing it was time to get clean and sober. Josephine "Josie" Perez is a remarkable young woman and a fixture in Westside recovery. She is proof that it's never too early to get right.

Sicker Than Others is a podcast on the ups and downs of recovery from Alcohol, Drugs, Sex, and Love addiction. Based in a residential treatment center in Los Angeles, each episode brings a short but in-depth account of what happened, what it was like, and what it's like now.
