I was born in Sonora into a family of addicts. My childhood was terrible, and I used my first time at the age of 5. I was using heroin and committing crimes. I would sleep around with women to get what I wanted and have been in and out of jail, prison, and rehab my whole life. When I got my daughter taken away, I decided to give rehab another try, and it changed my life! From there I went to sober living (Transition to Hope) with the Rescue Mission, and it helped while I worked, got off parole, got my daughter back, and graduated from drug court!! They even helped me get a place to live and now my family is back together! Thank you, Lord!!!
