In this week's episode, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Jon Redd (Spirit Mountain Recovery - Chief Operations Officer) to talk about growing up in Utah and how he always knew he struggled with anxiety, how experimenting with alcohol completely changed his outlook on life growing up, and his decision to seek out drugs after he graduated high school.

Then Jon opens up about the first time he used heroin, going into the treatment at 19-years-old and the feeling of finding the people who truly understood him.

He also talks about being diagnosed with stage-4 cancer in his lymph nodes, what his rock-bottom looked like, and how his family's decision to cut ties with him forced him into recovery.
