Finding My Peace

from Dopenly Honest · host Yeva Chisholm

In the 3rd episode of Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre sits down with fellow Kentuckian Matthew 'Fig' Nelson for a moving conversation about what it takes to find recovery. Fig opens up about the early moments that pulled him into addiction at just nine years old, the progression from alcohol to cocaine to meth, and the years he spent homeless, hustling, and losing everything, including his family’s trust and his place in his children’s lives. With raw honesty, Fig shares how his individual battles with addiction tore his life and relationships apart, and how finding peace within himself became the foundation for his healing. Today, Fig is clean, rebuilding relationships, showing up for his family, and committed to helping others find their way out of addiction. His story is one of resilience, forgiveness, and the daily choice to stay in recovery. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for a story of hope, this episode offers a candid look at how far down addiction can take you… and how far back a person can come.
