TAMPA, Fla. -- The fight against coronavirus isn't the only battle many people are facing right now -- the battle of addiction can be even more difficult during stressful times.
That's why support groups are more important than ever right now.
Senator Daryl Rouson knows all about that need.
"I'm 22 years clean from alcohol and drugs. Celebrated March 17 last week. But even though I'm 22 years clean, one way I got there is by having support groups, having an ability to reach out to somebody," Senator Rouson said.
