Imagine growing up in a family where alcohol was never part of the picture, only to have your world turned upside down at age 13. That's Eileen's story. Her idyllic childhood took a sharp turn when her parents announced their divorce, uprooting her from a peaceful rural town to a bustling city. It was there that she encountered a new crowd, and with them, alcohol and drugs entered her life. Eileen's grades plummeted, and her decisions became increasingly reckless.
She even had a run-in with the law, caught in a car full of drunk teenagers. After high school, instead of pursuing college, she chose to work, driven by the need to fund her substance use. One particularly harrowing night, she nearly set her family home ablaze after falling asleep with lit cigarettes while intoxicated.
Eileen's tale is a stark reminder of how quickly life can spiral out of control but also serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking recovery.
