Amy's story is one of resilience and transformation. After a weight loss surgery in 2002, she found herself caught in the grip of prescription pain pill addiction. Spending up to $800 a day on pills, her life spiraled out of control. The loss of her 6-day-old son and a stint in prison became the wake-up call she needed to seek recovery.

She works in drug court, offering peer support and encouraging those struggling to seek help and connect with others in recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding addiction and the need for compassionate solutions.
