I was born into addiction. It was extremely normalized in my family.
Mysti Lopez's journey from addiction to advocacy is nothing short of extraordinary. Born into a life surrounded by drugs and dysfunction, Mysti's early years were marked by meth use at the tender age of 15. This episode of Odyssey House Journals, hosted by TV news legend Randall Carlisle, delves into her incredible story of transformation.
Mysti shares her experiences of battling meth, heroin, alcohol, and fentanyl, and how she turned her life around to become a beacon of hope for others in recovery. Her candid reflections on public speaking, including a nerve-wracking moment at a press conference with Utah's Governor Cox, highlight her resilience and determination.
Mysti's honesty about her past, including the heartbreaking loss of her children and the struggle to find her place in a world that seemed against her, is both raw and inspiring. Now, as an ambassador for recovery and co-founder of a virtual IOP programme, Mysti is dedicated to helping others find their path to sobriety. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark one's past may be, there is always hope for a brighter future.
