Nevertheless, I was using it to numb my pain."
Furthermore, Pooja elaborated on her journey to recovery, recounting how she gathered the strength to confront her solitude and suffering, ultimately breaking free from the clutches of addiction. With a sense of pride, she declared that she has remained addiction-free for an impressive seven years.
