"My rock bottom had a trap door in it, and I could go lower."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? For Scott, it was the realisation that his rock bottom had a trap door, leading him to depths he never imagined. Growing up in a Christian home, Scott had a solid foundation, but like many, he strayed into the world of partying and substance use. His journey through law enforcement and subsequent struggles with addiction paint a vivid picture of the illusion of control many face.
Scott shares his experience of hitting multiple rock bottoms, each time thinking he could manage his drinking, only to find himself caught in a cycle of denial and relapse.

With honesty and humour, Scott discusses how his marriage and family were affected by his addiction and how faith played a crucial role in rebuilding those relationships.
