Christin's Transformation: From Cartel Involvement to Inspiring Hope

The reason why I don't have a ton of kids out there, Kristen, is because I'm gay.
What if your darkest moments could become your greatest source of strength? Christin's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Married and expecting a child at just 16, she faced a devastating miscarriage that sent her life spiraling into chaos. She found herself entangled with the cartel, running drugs and sinking deeper into a meth addiction that almost destroyed her.
Her story takes an even more shocking turn when she tried to cut off her husband's penis during one of her lowest points. But this isn't just a tale of downfall; it's one of incredible resilience and transformation. Today, Christin is celebrated in the recovery community as the 'Hope Dealer'. Instead of dealing drugs, she now deals hope, working tirelessly to help other women navigate their own paths to recovery.
In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Brandon Lee dives deep into Christin's tumultuous past and remarkable turnaround. She opens up about how childhood trauma set the stage for her struggles with addiction and how facing those traumas head-on was crucial for her recovery. Christin also highlights the importance of recovery programs that serve underserved communities, sharing her experiences working with a program in Arizona that provides vital support and resources to those who need it most.
Christin's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up. Her journey from cartel involvement to becoming a beacon of hope for others showcases the incredible strength of the human spirit. Tune in to hear Christin's full story and find out how she's making a difference in the lives of countless women who are fighting their own battles with addiction.
