Episode #141: From Survival to Service with Jordan Butler

from Recovery Lab · host Normalizing Recovery

In Episode 141 of the Recovery Lab Podcast, Brynn Knox, David Sugg, and Daniel Anderson welcome Jordan Butler for an honest and powerful conversation about addiction, relationship with food challenges, recovery, community, and what it looks like when survival turns into service.   Jordan shares how her struggle began in high school with food, exercise, control, and the need to change the way she felt. Over time, that pattern shifted into alcohol, drugs, isolation, and a life that looked functional on the outside while everything was falling apart underneath.   This episode walks through Jordan’s journey from Jackson to college, New Orleans, the Arkansas Delta, and back home again, where she finally found recovery, connection, and a new way to live. Her story is a reminder that healing often begins when we stop trying to hold everything together alone.   Jordan also shares about the First Annual McCoy House Recovery Classic, an alcohol-free charity golf tournament supporting The McCoy House Extended Care for Women’s mission to provide a safe, supportive space for women in recovery.   McCoy House Recovery Classic Tournament 2026 Date: Friday, May 8, 2026 Location: Live Oaks Golf Club, 11200 US 49 N, Jackson, MS 39209 Format: Four-person scramble Cost: $1,000 per team or $250 per player Grand prizes include: 4 days and 3 nights at a Gulf Shores beach house, golf equipment valued at $2,500, a $1,000 Koestler Prime gift card, and a hole-in-one prize for a new Honda from Patty Peck.   For more information, email [email protected] or visit www.themccoyhouse.com.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.   #RecoveryLabPodcast #RecoveryLab #JordanButler #McCoyHouse #McCoyHouseRecoveryClassic #AddictionRecovery #EatingDisorderRecovery #Sobriety #RecoveryJourney #JacksonMS #MississippiRecovery #SoberCommunity #WomenInRecovery #HopeInRecovery #AudioAlchemyProductions
