On this episode of the Joyful Living Podcast, I spoke with Shelda Askew of S & K Caring 4 Life. 

Shelda spoke with us at length about her experience with drug addiction, recovery, overcoming embarrassment and dual diagnosis of drug addiction and mental illness and how the two are related.

**Please note that Authors and Arts Studio,our location sponsor, is located next door to a church. They were having service the night of our podcast recording. I had two options  1. Not air the podcast because of the background noise and perhaps miss the opportunity to help someone battling addiction.  2. Post the video even though it is not perfect and provide someone with the information they need.  I chose to help someone instead of focusing on my ego.  Above all things I pray that God uses me to help others. I will not allow anything or anyone or background noise to stop me from sharing information that might save a life.
