Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Jason Coombs (Brick House Recovery founder and CEO, author of Unhooked: How to Help an Addicted Loved One Recover) to talk about how he took seven shots of whiskey the first time he ever tried alcohol and how the social aspect led him to drink more as a sixteen-year-old.
Then we talk about his decision to cut out substances as a young adult and why he decided to go on a mission. We also dive into how a car accident led Jason into a full-blown opioid addiction after being involved in a Utah drug ring.
Jason also recalls how his addiction slowly began to lead him to a life of homelessness with an addiction to heroin, alcohol, and meth.
