Georgia’s addiction crisis won’t change without policy that actually reaches people where they are.

In this episode, State Representative Sharon Cooper breaks down what it means to legislate recovery from strengthening public health strategy to expanding treatment access and building real accountability across the systems that touch prevention, intervention, and long-term recovery. We talk candidly about where gaps exist, why access can be so difficult even when help is “available,” and what practical reforms can move Georgia from crisis response to sustainable solutions.

Christina and Garrett speak openly about addiction, the hard realities families face, and the roadblocks to recovery that too many people run into especially when support, treatment access, and real-world resources don’t line up. They unpack what helps (and what hurts), why isolation is so dangerous, and how community sometimes in unexpected places can become the turning point. You’ll also hear why this isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a public one, with consequences that ripple across families, workplaces, schools, and the wider community. If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone in recovery, why “just get help” isn’t that simple, or what needs to change so more people can make it, this episode is for you.

Alexia Jones reveals how art became both her refuge and her revolution. Through painting, movement, storytelling, and creative expression, she discovered a pathway out of darkness that traditional recovery models often overlook. Alexia shares how the artistic process mirrors the recovery journey itself layer by layer, mistake by mistake, beauty emerging from what once felt broken. She discusses the power of giving people not just clinical tools, but creative tools that allow them to reclaim their voice, reinterpret their experiences, and imagine a future they can step into with hope.

This conversation is a vivid reminder that recovery is not only a medical or emotional process it is an artistic one. It is the daily act of creating something new from the pieces of who you once were. Perfect for anyone who believes healing can happen on a canvas, in a studio, in movement, or in the shared art of community.

In this powerful episode, Stone sits down with national recovery advocate Chris Thrasher for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about addiction, stigma, and what real solutions look like in the real world. Chris shares what he’s learned from years of working on the front lines of prevention, treatment, and recovery—what’s actually working, what’s clearly failing, and why too many people are still falling through the cracks.

Together, they talk about how stigma keeps people silent, how families are impacted long before a crisis ever makes the news, and why language and attitudes matter just as much as policy and funding. Chris breaks down the connection between community support, recovery-friendly workplaces, and public policy, and explains how all three have to work together if we’re serious about saving lives.

You’ll also hear stories of courage, second chances, and communities that decided not to look away. This is not just a conversation about what’s broken it’s a conversation about what’s possible when we choose compassion over judgment and solutions over silence.
