This is my story of my addiction to sex, drugs and alcohol for 21years. I got addicted to those things in New York City where I lived since I was 15 years old. I've experienced rape, sexual assaults, arrests, hospitalizations, crime, prostitution, homelessness, physical assaults, robbery, mentally illness and much more. I abused alcohol, heroine, cocaine, molly, shrooms, acid, ecstasy, Xanax, Klonopine, Adderall, weed, special K, and more. I was able to work as an actress for about ten years. But my addiction destroyed my career and I was always broke because I spent all my money on substances. I became bipolar because of the excessive use of substances. I kept using even though I really nearly died many many times. I am sick. I was able to get out of the darkness of addiction with the help from my family. I humbly want to share my story with others with the hopes that I can help others who are suffering the same illness that I am. Thank you.
