Katie McKenna: From Teenage Meth Addiction to a Life Reclaimed

I had to change a lot of things about me. It's hard, it sucks and life is hard anyways, but you don't have to make it any harder.
Ever wondered how a seemingly innocent dream of rock-and-roll parties can spiral into a nightmare of addiction? Katie McKenna's story, shared on Recovery Uncensored, takes you on a raw and gripping journey from her first encounter with meth at just 12 years old to the dark days of prison and ultimately, to her path of redemption.
Growing up in Pana, Illinois, Katie's rebellious spirit led her down a dangerous road, culminating in a fatal car accident and 25 months behind bars. But her story doesn't end there. After years of battling her demons, Katie discovered her worth and began the difficult climb towards recovery. In this episode, she opens up about the harsh realities of addiction, the impact on her family, and the importance of self-worth and support in her healing process.
Katie's candid reflections and hard-earned wisdom make this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or seeking hope in their own recovery journey.
