I was able to get sober. He's the reason why my son Daniel is not totally messed up. He's the reason behind everything that I've been able to overcome and able to accomplish.
Imagine being on stage with legends like Michael Jackson and Tina Turner, only to be battling a fierce cocaine addiction behind the scenes. That's the story of Jackie Gouché, a powerhouse in the music industry who faced down her demons to emerge stronger than ever. Growing up in Los Angeles, Jackie was caught in the crossfire of her parents' divorce and her father's substance abuse. By 12, she was already experimenting with drugs.
Her addiction spiraled when she married another addict, leading her to a crossroads: continue down the path of addiction or step up as a mother. Jackie's choice to fight for sobriety wasn't just for herself but for her children, who are now Grammy-nominated artists. Supported by her mother's unwavering love and her faith, Jackie has been sober for over 20 years.
In this episode, she opens up about her journey, the role of faith in her recovery, and how she rebuilt her career and family life. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of second chances.
