If you could just get through The First Few Weeks and Months and just get your head clear to get on a path of the right way, whatever it looks like for you, for me it was going to church, being around the guys, being in a community that supports me and has my back, and just the support here and the love and the care and everything that comes with it, having people to talk to that can relate to you, that know what's going on, and just having that in your life.
Imagine growing up in a small town in Mississippi, where everyone knows everyone, and life seems simple. That was Cagle Collins' world until a tragic car accident changed everything. Prescribed pain pills for his injuries, Cagle found himself on a slippery slope that led to a 15-year battle with addiction.

In this episode of 'THE COMEBACK: Stories That Inspire', host Trey Lewis chats with Cagle about his tumultuous path. From hitting rock bottom and cycling through 25 treatment centers to finally finding hope and healing, Cagle's tale is a rollercoaster of emotions.

At Good Landing Recovery, he discovered a supportive network that believed in him, helping him rebuild his life from the ground up.
