Christina Lucero's journey is a raw and honest account of her battles with addiction, starting from a very young age. In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, she shares her story of rebellion, bad choices, and the long road to recovery. From sneaking out to smoke marijuana at 14 to being introduced to cocaine, Christina's life spiralled into chaos, leading her in and out of rehab and jail for over two decades.
The turning point came when she realised she needed to change for her children, though the path was anything but smooth. Christina talks about the challenges of growing up in a household where drug use was normalised, making it hard to break free from the cycle of addiction. She also discusses the emotional toll of losing her children and how it pushed her deeper into substance abuse.
However, with the support of treatment programs like Odyssey House and House of Hope, she began to rebuild her life. Christina's story is not just about her struggles but also about resilience and the power of community support in recovery. Her candid reflections offer a glimmer of hope to anyone facing similar battles. If you're looking for a heartfelt and inspiring story of redemption, this episode is a must-listen.
