What is life like when you've come back from the edge?
We explore this question on this episode of TruckBeat. We also hear from East Tennesseans (in ten words or less) what comes to mind when they hear the word "addiction." And we head to Kingston, where a young couple is fighting against the deadly pull of drug addiction, while teaching others to do the same.
