Welcoming all of our new TikTok listeners!
For a long time Liz lost her smile due to her substance use...
* Her father put her up for adoption
* She endured a lot of abuse
* At 17 she connected with a 40 year old drug supplier who introduced her to cocaine, and gave her access to endless amounts of it
* Her cocaine use got so bad that her eyes, nose and ears doctor had to intervene with emergency surgery…she continued using after that
* Kept up a job and was well liked there until people started suspecting drug use….she was fired after a mandatory drug test came back positive
* Her supplier of endless cocaine cut her off after he noticed how consumed into it she was
* There came a time where she was choosing to buy drugs over buying food for her kids
Liz is now a CCAR Volunteer Manager and is a person in recovery. Hear her story as only she can tell it!
