In this week's episode, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Jessica Butterfield to talk about her experience experimenting with substances at a very young age, the moment she finally felt relief from her anxiety after taking an opioid, and how she realized she was an addict after trying heroin for the first time as a teenager.

Then she talks about getting arrested after having warrants out for her arrest, hitting her rock-bottom in Mexico with her boyfriend at the time, and her decision to turn towards the church to help her in her recovery.

Lastly, she opens up about what her motivation has been throughout her experience with recovery, how following the steps has helped her throughout her life since she has stopped abusing substances, and why she's focused on spreading awareness surrounding addiction to help others who may be struggling.
