Valentina ha iniziato a fumare eroina a 13 anni. Era il 2002.

Oggi Valentina ha 33 anni, è entrata e uscita da dodici comunità terapeutiche, solo per finire in carcere. Parte da qui, dalla vicenda di una ragazza come tante, il percorso di ricerca di Vanessa Roghi sul mondo delle cosiddette "droghe pesanti".

Society implies you need alcohol to get through motherhood. The drinking mom culture is a dangerous trend that threatens the well-being of both parents and children.

He called this the alcoholic personality type and designed a program to crush the ego as the foundation of sobriety. It worked for him and millions of other alcoholics like him, and he deserves great credit.
