CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of self-harming behavior. 

In this episode, we hear from Jaycie on the exact day she celebrates three years sober. She shares her brave, unfiltered account of how anxiety, family trauma, and isolation fed addiction and self-harm that almost swallowed her future — and how faith and community stitched it back together. 

From denial, self-blame and looking for her worth in toxic relationships, Jaycie shares how a simple moment of surrendering her life to Jesus started her journey from the depths of addiction to a life of freedom.  

If you've ever wondered whether faith-based recovery can heal your deepest doubts and pain, this conversation offers the hope of restoration.
