Praise God
I was an addict for 22 years, addicted to anything that would help me smother my emotions. M**h was always my go to though. I’ve been to prison, lost custody of my children not once but twice, doctor shopped, prostituted my body to get just one more. I was my own worst enemy for a long time killing myself slowly. I am my parents only child and yet they lived in fear of me. I hurt everyone I came in contact with. I was absolutely insane before getting sober this time, hallucinating, I became extremely violent.
My story had previously went viral on Richie's page, but I wanted to post an update ❤️
Today I’m blessed to say I have 32 months clean! Since my last post I have gotten my felonies expunged, and I work with juveniles in juvenile drug court as well as the parents who are involved in child protective services. It feels great to give back to kids ans their family's after losing my own 💔
My fiance’ ( whom I was in addiction with also for 10+ years) and I have our 4 amazing children back in our custody, we are both in recovery living productive lives in the field that saved our lives! I am a role model today for my children and am a light for others who are still in the darkness of addiction. I am living proof there is life after addiction! If you’re struggling reach out to Richie, there’s help out there, it just takes a drop of willingness to save your life! God Bless!
