Every addiction revolves around the same lie: "I am in control."

In this edition of "Stories in the Weeds", Scotty shares how his successful radio career was threatened when alcohol took over his life.

Despite being on an award winning broadcasting team with prestigious trophies from the Academy of Country Music, Scotty's life was on hold until he finally broke through the illusion of control and faced the painful reality that he needed help to stop drinking.

Yet as difficult as it was, his personal journey to sobriety is something he would go through all over again because of the lessons he has learned.

The grip of addiction is not easily broken, but through community, honesty and humility, Scotty has learned that working hard at sobriety is his most rewarding accomplishment.

Listen as John, Shay & Scotty open up about alcohol, addiction, grace and hope in this candid interview.

You can hear Scotty each weekday morning with his friend Liz on “Liz & Scotty in the Morning” on Today’s Best Country Clear 99, in Columbia, MO.
