From that Day, from that pill, from that moment, I was done, I was done and I knew it. I mean I was just like I went to heaven and I became an addict.
Ever wondered what it’s like to hit rock bottom and then climb back up? In this episode of Friends in Recovery, hosts Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr. sit down with Janique Svedberg, a woman who has lived through the highs and lows of addiction and come out the other side. Born in Sweden, Janique moved to New York City at 20, chasing love and dreams in the vibrant world of rock 'n roll.
She became a singer and dancer for Kid Creole and the Coconuts, but her glamorous life took a dark turn when she encountered drugs, starting with Oxycontin. What followed was a harrowing journey through addiction that lasted years. Janique doesn't hold back as she recounts her struggle, including her year and a half in rehab and her eventual reunion with faith.
Now an author and motivational speaker, Janique shares how she turned her life around and helps others do the same. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how far you've fallen. Tune in to hear her inspiring tale and learn how she became a beacon of hope for those battling addiction.
