Ivana Grahovac is a wonder to behold. And she's even more wondrous once you know her story. The Director of Advancement for Facing Addiction and former Executive Director for Transforming Youth Recovery wasn't always the poised spokesperson today. In fact, she's the girl who spent so long raving in Croatia that she decided to drop out of school and move to Milan to model. While living the so-called glamorous life (which she swears wasn't glam), her heroin addiction took hold. Numerous stints in treatment followed, as did jail time after she stole a car. And then, against all odds, Grahovac had a spiritual experience that not only got her sober but also made her not experience opiate withdrawals.
