25 year old Alex Elswick has taken on many identities in his young life…over-achieving student, promising baseball player, college dropout, and later a drug dealer and recovering addict. Alex talks with his mother Shelley Elswick about hitting rock bottom, the toll his addiction took on their family, and the long and rocky road to recovery.
