If you're out there and you're listening and you're not in active addiction and you love somebody who is or is suffering, you might have heard this a million times, but I'm going to tell you a million and one: don't ever give up hope, don't ever lose that faith that a person can change.
Ever felt like life has thrown everything at you, and then some? Alexis Johnson knows that feeling all too well. Featured on 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Alexis shares her raw and riveting story of transformation. She’s faced seven overdoses, flatlined twice, endured three DUIs, and had seven stints in prison. Add to that the heartbreak of burying 16 friends, including her ex-fiancé.
But today, Alexis is a beacon of hope, an international fitness model gracing magazine covers. How did she turn her life around? It wasn’t easy. Her childhood was marred by her father's addiction to cocaine and alcohol, making substance abuse seem like a normal part of life. She learned to play blackjack before she could even understand the stakes, and witnessed volatile relationships that left deep scars.
Alexis's journey through addiction saw her in and out of rehab programs, each relapse more discouraging than the last. Yet, she never gave up. She discovered the power of finding the right support system and a rehab program that truly resonated with her needs. Alexis’s story is a testament to resilience and the importance of never giving up on yourself or your loved ones.
Her memoir, 'Beautiful Nightmare', set to be released soon, dives deeper into her journey from addiction to becoming a fitness icon. If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, Alexis's story offers a powerful message: there is always hope, and it’s never too late to change.
