My recovery pathway: incarceration and residential treatment
My story:
I struggled with addiction my entire life. At the age of 18 I started using methamphetamines intravenously. Over the years I was using the jails revolving door policy. Although admittedly I was never incarcerated long enough to make a difference. I lost my kids and my family and caused pain that would take years to heal from. In 2020 I was charged with 18 felony counts of forgery. I should have went to prison. However, God had a different plan for me. I spent a year incarcerated and during that time I found my faith. I completed residential treatment and vowed to be the same bright light so many others still struggling with addiction needed. I wanted to offer hope. Now I am in college pursuing a masters degree to continue helping people struggling with addiction find the light!
