JD shares how an overdose became a turning point in his struggle with heroin addiction and led him toward recovery, faith and rebuilding his life. In this episode of You're Beautiful with Brian Trust, he recounts receiving emergency help after being taken into custody in South Carolina and explains why he believes the experience saved his life.
The conversation also covers meeting his biological father in New Mexico, a painful marriage, losing custody of his children, forgiveness and learning to stop living for other people’s approval. JD discusses his music, construction work and the support he receives through church, Bible study, a men’s group and Christian fellowship in the Riverbend area.
Brian reflects on the program’s first year and joins JD in encouraging people to seek help and faith before their lives feel fully repaired. JD closes with a practical suggestion for beginning a daily Bible-reading routine through Proverbs.
