MissMaeg talks with Robert Imbeault this week, successful entrepreneur and author of best-selling memoir Before I Leave You, about his spiral into drug addiction, suicide plan, and eventual reprieve from his suffering through sobriety. Robert shares what is was like to recall a past memory of childhood sexual abuse and how he was able to repair his relationship with his girlfriend, now wife, through his recovery.
