Alyssa's Story: From Childhood Memories to Battling Addiction

You don't ever see yourself going down the road. I did as I said a minute ago. I guess I got put in the system when I was around two. My mom was having some party and I guess some guy at the party touched me or something, and basically that got reported and ever since then I've been, you know, in and out of the system.
Have you ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our future? Alyssa Herdman takes us on a heartfelt journey through her early years, revealing how seemingly innocent moments can spiral into a life of addiction. In this episode, Alyssa opens up about the struggles she faced growing up and how they contributed to her unexpected descent into addiction. Her candid storytelling offers a raw glimpse into the emotional turmoil, the guilt, and the pain that came with her addiction.
