The first time Clay Scott tried drugs he was just 12 years old, getting high during his lunch break at school. Within a few years, he had spiralled into a devastating addiction. 

Clay ended up being arrested, going to jail and destroying relationships with his friends and family. In his darkest moments, he says he even attempted to take his own life. 

Now, he's almost 500 days sober and has completely transformed his life. 

In this week's long listen, Clay tells Dave about his journey overcoming addiction, and how he hopes to help others embrace sobriety.
