The addiction started in his early thirties after doctors could not pinpoint the cause of his back pain and started him on a road of destruction by prescribing several different opioids in mass quantities during the height of the opioid crisis. Without knowing the addictive properties of the 'medication', JT continued to use opioids to not only cope with the pain, but they became a crutch to handle the complications of life as well. The need for sustaining the pain relief and energy opioids provided, JT spiraled into over-consuming the medications and after becoming completely ill with addiction, JT reached for street drugs to pull out of the horrific withdrawals. His life collapsed. His career ended. His children lost complete respect for him, and his husband was completely beside himself in confusion and grief...

EPISODE 2: "You're Boobless, What Now?" with Lacey Marie Hello and WELCOME to the "You're _______, What now?" Podcast! I am your host, Marci Nettles. I have had a lifetime of opportunities where I had the choice to Breakdown or Breakthrough... did I always make the "right" choice? Nope. I did however find a way to continue moving forward until I was able to see there was a path through my chaos into joy. This Podcast may become your light in the darkness, as you listen to the stories of people I consider "heroes." Each one had a point where they too had to choose to either Breakdown or Breakthrough! In this episode you are going to get to know an amazing woman who I consider a Warrioress! Boobless and Fabuless is her mantra! Lacey Marie believes flatter is better. After years of dealing with seemingly random health issues and being near death, she discovered it was all connected to the size of her breasts. Lacey learned she had Breast Implant Illness, plus two genetic markers for breast cancer, so she made the difficult decision to have both her implants and her breasts removed, only to discover a year later, the double mastectomy wasn't necessary. Through this process. she realized there's a gross lack of resources and support for women who choose to be flat over breast reconstruction. This has empowered her to use her story and advocate for more women to not only choose to be flat but love the body they are in as they claim their life and health back by becoming Boobless and Fabuless!
