At 16 years old I dropped out of highschool and got my GED. I moved out of my home and got an apartment with my boyfriend. I went to work full-time for my father at his landscape company. I was a good kid who struggled in school and just couldn't do it anymore. My parents had divorced a few years prior and at this time my mom and sister moved to Hawaii. At this point in my life I didn't drink or do drugs. I was trying to be an adult and that meant I had bills and responsibilities. At 18 years old I found myself hanging more with the wrong type of people and this lead me to drinking and eventually trying weed. After turning down trying coke so many times I finally have in and tried for the first time at a party. I loved the way it made me feel. I felt alive and on fire. I knew it was my drug. I only did it on weekends for the first few months. Eventually that led to a few times during the week and then that quickly led to every day. After finding my grandmother dead in her driveway my life quickly unraveled and I found myself smoking crack and doing everything I could to escape my pain. In 2007 I led police on a high speed chase that ended in a car crash and with me on the 5' o'clock news. This was my point of no return. April 7, 2007 is the day I got sober and I've never looked back. Today I am married to a police officer and I still work for my father as a landscaper. I have a blog where I write to help those suffering from drug addiction and eating disorders.

My goal is to travel around the country sharing my story in hopes to help those that are deep in their addiction. Your podcast is going to help me have a voice. Your podcast is going to help me get out there to help others. Your podcast will drive people to my blog where they can begin their journey to courage and recovery.
