No, that wasn't the last time that I used, but that was the last time that I blamed her for my drug use. It's like the stuff that we hang on to in our lives that we cannot let go of, keeps us from really having the destiny that we believe that god has for our lives.
Barbara Robinson's story is a powerful testament to the struggles and triumphs that come with addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'Wrap Around Love', she opens up about a dark period in her life when addiction controlled her every move, leading to heartbreaking consequences for her children. Growing up in North Omaha, Barbara faced a harsh reality filled with gun and gang violence, which pushed her towards substance abuse as a way to cope with the trauma.
Barbara's candid recounting of her experiences includes the painful moment when her children were taken away and placed in foster care. This was a turning point for her, as she realized that blaming her mother for her own drug use was no longer an option. Her story doesn't end in despair, though. Barbara's passion for her community and her desire to be a catalyst for change shine through as she discusses her involvement in the Wrap Around Love movement.

Barbara's journey from a struggling addict to a devoted advocate for North Omaha is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Listeners will gain insight into the importance of empathy, understanding, and unwavering love in the face of life's toughest challenges.
