Then we jump back into Carl’s book and talk about Carl’s trauma, heavy addiction troubles, attempts to get sober, and his rock bottom moment. We discuss Carl’s path to sobriety and how it really gave greater meaning to Carl’s opening of Soft Bar in this week’s episode of Summer House. Come break down this Bravo book with us!
