Published: April 20, 2021, 6 a.m.

In this week's episode, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Tony Carroll to talk about her childhood growing up, why family is so important to her, and how headaches and migraines led Tony down the road of addiction.

Tony then opens up about how her opioid addiction began to get out of control, why the fear of who she actually was began to become unbearable, and how the perception of her being an addict throughout her neighborhood pushed her to the brink.

She also talks about what she learned about herself in rehab, getting sent to jail for four months, how it completely changed her attitude towards the disease of addiction, and what sobriety has looked like to her for the past four years.
