In this week's episode, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Gentry Jones to talk about not feeling like she belonged in fifth grade following her parent's separation, how it led to her experimenting with alcohol when she was in seventh grade, and why her abuse evolved when she began attending college.

Then we dive into Gentry's decision to go to a recovery center after getting alcohol poisoning, how becoming a mother helped her curb her alcohol abuse, and when she realized that she had a very serious problem.

Gentry also opens up about how turning to social media helped her tackle some of the problems that she was dealing with internally, why a lapse doesn't have to be a relapse, and how finding her purpose has helped her place in recovery.
